Trail Information

Highlights

Colorado is known for its amazing beauty and scenic off-road drives. But it's not typically known for its demanding and challenging rock-crawling obstacles, especially what the offroad community likes to call a "playground." Moody Hill is one of those anomalies where two drivers at completely different ends of the spectrum can have a fun and challenging day out on the trails. A novice driver with a stock or mildly built rig can tag along with a competition buggy all of the way up to the very end of the trail, where maybe it's best to park the stock rig and watch what a purpose-built vehicle can do. Moody Hill is known for the final obstacle/area, the quarry, a playground where all sorts of vehicle capabilities can practice offroad skills, from smaller ledges to insane vertical waterfalls. If you love scenic views and breathing in the fresh Colorado mountain air with a rig somewhere between bone stock and a money pit on 44" tires, Moody Hill has to be on your shortlist.

Fun trail with a couple moderate obstacles and some great views that ends at an area that has some extreme obstacles.

I ran this trail for the first time after living in Fort Collins for the last six years, and I have to say, it's one of my new favorites. I am not much of a rock crawler personally, but I found the mandatory obstacles to be challenging with amazing views and superb dispersed campsites. I think Moody just made it to my once-a-year must-do trail list.
