Easy trail in CO?

Howdy all I'm looking for an easier trail within maybe 1hr of Denver? "Easier" = as in something a stock '95 4Runner, and Landcruiser could handle without too much trouble...just looking to get out and see some scenery off the beaten path...
Thanks much!

you meaning easy in summer conditions, or easy now? so you're totally stock, no lift, locker, tall tires, etc. right?

if you don't find something in the trail planning section per ric's suggestion, PM me and i can tell you a pile of stuff.

Most of the trail obstacles have bypasses anyway, so you could choose to avoid the difficult sections if you were so inclined. In Ft. Collins there is Old Flowers Road, where I go to shoot. It's scenic and very, very easy. I think it's easy enough that I could take my company Pontiac up it.
Speaking of which, my boss took off my bumper sticker that looked like the Colorado license plate but said "No Vacancy" on it! Lol. he was pissed.

Easy now with snow in consideration...

You go shoot up there? I do some shooting myself so that would be really enjoyable How do you get up there?

Thanks for the help!

Airborne, there are better places to shoot. Old Flowers is just closest for me. I arranged a TTORA shooting trip back in October, out to Pawnee grasslands, east of Ft. Collins. Good time. Maybe it's time for a Yotatech shooting trip!
Oh, Avsfreak, I live in Loveland, and I'd love to check out some trails up around Estes. Any challenging ones?

Count me in! Oh, and Red 85, we were talking about shooting guns, but I like to shoot cameras as well. The best is shooting both, as below!

Those pics were taken in the San Luis Valley, SO Col. There are closer places to shoot than that. Check out the shooting trip thread. And Mols, of course you're going! I want a picture of you shooting two AR15's from the hip with double stacked 30 round magazines and holo sights....now that's hot.
