"Got trail" reference is for MTBing, ATVing and hiking (--> fly fishing).
I don't have a Jeep as the money I already spend on my MTBs and ATV is already enough to drive my wife nuts. In CO and Moab I frequently see 100K Jeeps like they're going out of style, just can't justify spending that kind of money fixing broken parts and having many other hobbies too.
The premier areas for OHV in CO are going to be in the southwest corner, Taylor Park and Buena Vista/Salida. TP, BV and Salida are not too far from where you'll be but plan on 4 hours + to get into those areas. There are multiple places to rent OHV vehicles in those areas but I'm not going to tell you it's cheap... cause it's not.
There are very nice hiking trails all over the CO mountains and if out hiking, make sure and pay very close attention to the weather. We have had a very consistent monsoon moisture flow this summer with afternoon lightning storms a lot more frequent than not. That usually indicates an early morning departure for hikes with an ever watching eye on the weather, knowing when to turn back to get to lower elevations and cover.
If you're interested in more specifics, just send me a PM with your questions.
