Overview

Located a short distance west of Lyons, in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Ironclads is a rocky and rugged 4x4 trail offering a mix of challenging obstacles from ledges, steep ascents and descents, rock gardens, and narrow sections that require careful maneuvering. Ironclads is an excellent trail to practice line selection and tire placement without the fear of severe damage or deadly consequences. Camping in the area is very popular, and OHV usage is abundant. Close to the metro area, this is a popular, year-round wheeling spot that is sure to be crowded nearly every weekend. Combine Ironclads with several other trails in the area to make a full day of offroad adventure.
