Trail suggestions that are both 4x4 and hiking for 2-3 day scout trip?

[DanTheMan]

My local scout troop is looking for a hiking and 4x4 trail for a campout trip this summer. Preferably something long enough for 2-3 days camping and hiking, and a trail that can accommodate stock F-150s and GMC Yukons, etc... any ideas?

MSV would be stock friendly to those vehicles? I haven't ran MSV but I've heard it's difficult in some areas?

I was actually thinking that to but I'm not too sure if they are thinking of going out of state.

The Sand Dunes area is perfect for this. Run Medano Pass, end up at the Sand Dunes.

You can hike up to the top of the dunes and mess around for the day. This is literally the favorite annual BSA troop campout we have every year. We also allow boys who are 13 and have earned the rank of First Class to carry full packs up to camp on the dunes overnight. You can get a permit to do this.

Dakan via long hollow - I haven't been in a few years but remember seeing a few stock full size trucks out there. Some easily navigated whooped-dee-doos and washes, very straight forward very mild off camber section.

Dakan Road - Colorado Offroad Trail

Dakan Road is a very pleasant trail in the Pike National Forest near Castle Rock that runs from Perry Park Road to Rampart Range Road. It is suitable for all levels of drivers, and any stock 4x4 can run this with no problems. There are a few tremendous views of the front range. This trail can be...

Close to Denver I'd recommend Bill Moore Lake, from there you can hop right onto the CDT and some excellent backpacking.

Text sent. My area is little known and I'd like to keep it that way!

Another is the Buffalo Creek Group Campground. You can drive Stony Pass dirt road 4x4 trail in or out.
