TRAVEL FEATURE I COLORADO ROCKIES WITH EXIT TOURS MC
P100
We hooked up with Michael Brown
of Exit Tours. He invited us to experi-
ence their operation and some of
the best trails the Colorado Rockies
have to offer. Our basecamp was
in Buena Vista located in central
Colorado in Chaffee County at 7965
feet above sea level. Buena Vista
is approximately 100 miles east of
Pikes Peak. Our plan was to spend
the next six days exploring the Great
Divide on dirt roads and trails.
When it comes to tour basics, at-
tendees bring their own street-legal
motorcycles that must be "capable
of being ridden on rough dirt roads,
two-track Jeep roads and trails." It
goes without saying your bike must
be fitted with a USFS-approved spark
arrestor and not excessively loud.
Also, Colorado requires a Colorado
OHV sticker to access forest trails.
There are other minor requirements,
of course, but you get the gist.
