While camping at 6,800 feet above sea level may seem like High Altitude Camping to some, it’s the average altitude here in Colorado. For Coloradans high altitude camping is anything above 11,000 feet or the tree line. Above this altitude only alpine vegetation grows.

It is amazing what a new utility 4×4 ATV can do. They are incredible machines engineered to handle the toughest terrains with plenty of power for the steepest hills. But some of us demand more usability, performance or a more customized look from our ATVs which means altering the machine from its stock form.

I find nothing better than an uncrowded back country campsite next to a lake or stream with family and friends. But one thing about back country camping that everyone must realize is that it can be very UN-predictable. So when things don’t go as planned you need to be prepared and learn to make the best of it.

New Years Day, that means it’s time for the annual Bunce School Road ride. This is my second consecutive year for this ATV winter ride and the weather was much warmer than last year. Last year we had temperatures in the single digits with a wind chill factor pushing temperatures well below zero. Today the temperatures are in the 30′s and a little breezy.

The re-introduction of the Grey Wolf was to help balance the eco-system damaged by the absence of the wolf. The wolf population has exploded since the re-introduction mainly due to wildlife and livestock no longer having the necessary skills to defend themselves against this long absence predator.

It was the day after a White Christmas here in Colorado. Only one-in-three Colorado Christmas’s actually have snow. With temperatures forecasted in the 40′s made it a great opportunity to get out for an ATV snow ride. This time I was going to Rainbow Falls, not the Manitou Springs waterfall, but the popular off-highway-vehicle area 10 miles north of Woodland Park, Colorado.

With the sale of new ATVs down and the sale of new UTVs booming, kind of leads to the question: Are ATVs on the verge of extinction? Don’t get me wrong ATVs are still very popular but you have got to wonder based on the current trend who is going to dominate the trails.
