If you have only time to do one trail in the Denver area, I would argue that Switzerland Trail will give you everything you want. You WILL NOT see hardcore obstacles but what you will see is amazing views and run into alot of various local outdoor enthusiasts. This trail will let you get out int he mountains and spend hours roaming around. While this will not check the boxes of the technical rock crawler, this will allow you to spend countless hours with your friends, family and loved ones experiencing what you desire from Colorado.

I have camped up there all the time
That's not a trail, it's a road which explains why there was a Ford Taurus on it. There's another trail in Denver I highly recommend. It's known as I80W and it will take you to California where all candy ass millennial morons like you belong!
Cool video, thank you for sharing. Appreciate all your honesty as well
Pronounced like the name "Ned" Nederland or Ned for short 🙂 Welcome to CO!
I know it’s been a couple years, hopefully you’ve learned your 80 is wayyy more capable than you were when you did this 🙂
Hey man, what app are you using for your maps? Awesome content.
I did that in a 1987 accord!
Where NOT to go. Glad you made it out. Have battle scars now.
What app do you utilize for trails? Just now getting onto exploring the great Colorado trails
That just reminded me, my damn windshield cracked today
My buddy and I did this in a Subaru outback, was pretty bumpy but we made it fine
To be fair, I used to beat my 98 Taurus to death. Played in mud sand. Nothing crazy but enough to get most cars stuck. You'd be surprised what a lil foward momentum will get you through in that lil car. That lil V6 3.0 200 hp 200 torque was no slouch either.
Ima rent a Jeep and check it out since it’s easy
Do you stay in one of the parks around there? I go to dirty dogs all the time haha
I have a 98 Ram 1500 4X4 with a 3inch lift I should fit right
Can you give me the GPS coordinates for the start of this trail? Trying to figure out where it is at and how to get there.Thanks
Ned R Land not Neederland. Home of the Frozen dead guy.
Is this a one way trail? Could you turn around if you wanted?
Ned-er -land
Fun Fact. Switzerland Trail was adopted by The Offroading Subarus of Colorado back in 2017. Gordon Gulch is another good one.
Lol what a ass 😂🤣
This looks a lot more fun than crawling over boulders and taking 4 hrs to go 1/4 mile. I like trails where you can take a bone stock 4WD , check out the scenery and not to worry about getting rescued. Different strokes!
I'm trying to take a trip but a few friends have 2wd. Any other trails like this one that I could be advised on? Thanks
You somehow ended up off Switzerland Trail. The whole thing can be done in a 2WD crossover in the summer and there’s no pinstriping involved. You need to get Gaia GPS and use the GPX routes from TrailsOffroad.com or TrailDamage.com.
I drove it on accident in 1998- chevy cavalier… Didn't know I was gonna make it. Large boulders and logs. We did thigh and lived to tell about it. It is beautiful. We came in on the back side. We didn't know where we were. There was a waterfall and an old mining cave.
What app is that?
Take your tires down to about 20 psi when you hit those kind of roads and it'll smooth things out a bit.
Welcome to the trails of Colorado hope to see you out there soon and stay safe
That's a good trail for a mountain bike. Park at the Gold Hill Rd trailhead lot and ride north or south from there.
Heard you mention Hidden Falls! I moved from Austin to the Springs! Lets go wheeling!
You should hit Black Bear Pass next man!
Wow, that is hilarious. I drove the Switzerland many many times before you were born. It hasn't changed!!
you are going to base ALL of the jeep trails in Colorado has to offer based on this? haha stay out of the San Juans for your own safety
Dang someday…..
Love it! I'm happy to see more of these vids getting uploaded on YouTube! Thanks for sharing. 😀
Let's go jeeping im in Golden moved out here from Houston Texas
Get a dash mount for that camera and keep attention on the road you cute sob
Cool video. Do you know if there was a trail head to unload ATV's
Ha ha. That feeling at 9:48. Been there many times. Coming from the gravel county roads of the midwest to exploring mountain shelf roads in Colorado was a HUGE change for me. I'm still getting used to it. Been lucky so far though.
This is Not Swiss
Food water toilet paper. Yup good to go.
At least it looks harder than big bend was.
