2/16/04: Sorry there haven't been many home page updates
here at 4x4Trails.net lately but things are happening. Here's what's new:
We've also added some photos of Tuttle Creek. Keep the trail submissions coming in, our trail submission tool is working and we're ironing out the bugs. Thanks to all those that have supported the site throught volunteerings, sunding donations and purchasing stickers!
12/13/03: MORE TRAIL ADDITIONS! ORV
Park of Kentucky and Lineman
Road in Arizona. Keep those submissions and site suggestions coming.
11/30/03: It looks as if the 'Submit A Trail'
feature is working out. We've had Pipeline
in Wisonsin, Tuttle
Creek OHV Park in Kansas and Kepbart
Run in Virginia added. Thanks for the submission! Keep them coming
in!
Also, we've got the Videos back up on the site as well. There's not many
but we'd love to put some more up. Go ahead and email
me some if you've got 'em.
None of this would have been possible without the help of Josh, our programmer,
he's done a great job adding the latest additions to the site. Josh is
being paid through your donations! A special thanks to Griz for his generous
donation. If you can help out in any way, please click the PayPal donate
button to the right. All donations go directly back into the site and
adding new features.
9/29/03: We received this really nice photo taken by Bill Heinlein from
atop Redcone Pass.
It's pretty big but worth viewing. It really shows the area and surrounding
trails well. Thanks for the submission Bill!
9/22/03: Again, a new trail from Mark from the Penrose Dirty Dogs: Hayden
Pass in Colorado. Thanks to Mark for the review and photos! Keep them
reviews coming!
9/14/03: Thanks to Mark from the Penrose Dirty Dogs, we've added some
photos of the China
Wall Trail in Colorado. We've also selected that as the current featured
trail. If you have a trail you'd like to see featured, be sure to drop
us a line. Our new trail editing feature will allow everyone to submit
and edit the current trail info making it easier for us to make site updates.
Should be live soon!
8/8/03: The Trails, they are a changin'! Well, at least in the database.
We've still trying to get back on track but we're a step closer. Our database
tools are almost complete. Josh is still working hard to get them up and
running and even more functional. I've added the China
Wall Trail to the database. Dragon submitted the trail quite a while
ago and we're glad to get it up, finally. If you have any photos of China
Wall, be sure to send them our way.
TRAILS
Get the complete info on trails including directions, ratings, regulations and pictures. As they are aquired, GPS coordinates and Printable maps will also be available from Topo! software.
FEATURED TRAILS
We'll be choosing a new trail every month to highlight. We urge our users to send in photos and write-ups to appear in the Featured Trails section.
TRAIL TALK
Set up a 4x4 outing for this weekend, get that tech question answered, buy or sell some parts or just chat with others about the trails.
TRAIL RATINGS
Every one has a different rating system that they assign to trails. Here we have listed the Colorado Standard for Trail Ratings which is used on this site.
CHECK LISTS
Don't leave home unprepared. Use these checklists to assure you have all the supplies you need. These lists are simple, printable and customizable for your specific outings.
ORGANIZATIONS
Keeping our trails open is something we all need to work on. Contact the organizations in your area to find out how you can help. Also meet other individuals with your interests.
STORE
This site was started as a way for me to keep track of the trails I'd been on. Now it's a tool for all off-road enthusiasts. If you'd like to buy some 4x4Trails.net memorabilia, it's available at our online store. To really help support the site buy some stickers on our 'Stickers' page.
PANORAMAS
Off-road trails not only offer up challenges for nearly all vehicles, they often lead us into some of the most beautiful areas of the state. Check out our panorama shots which can be viewed in QuickTime® or purchased as prints.
VIDEOS
We are beginning to collect small videos of our favorite trails and obstacles. If you have any video that you'd like to see on our pages, please let us know!
