Larimer County 4 Wheel Drive Club - The Mountaineers

Our members travel primarily on designated roads and established trails that are inaccessible to conventional passenger vehicles. While many people refer to the sport as "off-roading," we believe the best way to protect the places we enjoy is by staying on authorized routes and practicing responsible land use.
We also enjoy designated recreation areas, including sand dunes and other approved off-highway vehicle areas where appropriate.

One of our primary goals is to educate both our members and the public about responsible four-wheel-drive recreation. Topics include:
• Trail etiquette and responsible land use
• Tread Lightly! principles
• Vehicle preparedness
• Safe driving techniques
• Vehicle recovery methods
• Trail communications
• Resource protection and trail maintenance
Our goal is to ensure every trip is safe, enjoyable, and respectful of the land.

We believe that responsible recreation and conservation go hand in hand. The Mountaineers actively support the Tread Lightly! principles and participate in both the Adopt-a-Trail and Adopt-a-Highway programs.
Our members work alongside the U.S. Forest Service to maintain trails, improve access, and help preserve Colorado's beautiful public lands for future generations.

The Mountaineers are committed to more than just trail riding—we're committed to our community.
During severe winter weather and other emergencies, our members use their four-wheel-drive vehicles to assist organizations that provide critical services. Over the years, we have supported hospitals, Meals on Wheels, the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and other community organizations by transporting personnel, supplies, and equipment when normal vehicles cannot safely operate.

The Mountaineers are more than a four-wheel-drive club—we're a community of families and friends who enjoy exploring the outdoors, protecting our natural resources, and serving others.
If you're looking for great trails, lasting friendships, opportunities to learn, and a chance to give back, we'd love to have you join us.

The Mountaineers 4 Wheel Drive Club is proud to be a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, recognized by both the State of Colorado and the Internal Revenue Service. Through recreation, stewardship, education, and community service, we continue our tradition of making a positive impact both on and off the trail.
