atv-fall.jpgBuena Vista, Colorado hosts this annual ATV Historical Color Tour. Participants of this 4 x 4 all terrain vehicle rally and mountain festival will visit the area's old mining sites and ghost towns on self-guided tours, go to the top of a 14'er (14,000' mountain... you can drive to about 13,700'), cross the continental divide, and take in the fall colors and great fall weather. There will be rides for all skill levels from the easy forest roads to extremely challenging...if you dare. Night time is get together time with BBQ's at the park, beer garden, entertainment and awards.

Buena Vista, Colorado is in the heart of 14'er country... the greatest concentration of 14,000' peaks on the continent. Views are unbeatable and the fall colors are amazing. Walk through old mine buildings, separator mills, hammer mills and drive by the old towers of the ore-carrying tramways. You'll learn about: Cockeyed Liz and her girls; Otto Mears and his atv-fall2.jpgToll Roads (we will ride one); the great railroad race; the tough mining men and women who made and lost their fortunes (and sometimes their lives).

A guide book is available for purchase (all net proceeds will go to charity) with maps and historical information about the areas. Outriders will be on the trails for information and assistance. These Outriders will throughout the day, place large 'drool's gold' nuggets near the trail. Riders finding these 'nuggets' may turn them in for prizes at that night's dinner. Number of riders is limited, so reserve your spot.

      Pine Mountain Trails ATV Park (Oklahoma) Ride Report & Trail Guide
      Located in the rugged Kiamichi Mountains of southeastern Oklahoma, Pine Mountain Trails ATV Park offers over 70 miles of natural, backcountry-style off-road trails across 1,700+ acres. This is not a groomed park—it's a raw, terrain-driven riding experience built for real off-road enthusiasts.
      Trail System Deep Dive
      The trail system is designed around long loops, minimizing dead ends and maximizing ride time.
      Rocky climbs and descents Creek crossings and mud sections Tight wooded trails and open play areas Natural terrain with minimal artificial features Ride Conditions
      Conditions vary significantly:
      Dry: Fast, dusty, and loose on climbs Wet: Mud-heavy, slick, and highly technical Camping & Riding Experience
      Pine Mountain offers a more primitive, nature-focused atmosphere:
      Primitive camping and RV hookups available 24-hour riding for campers Less crowded than major trail systems Family-owned property with relaxed environment Fees & Access

      Use Google Maps for directions Limited cell service inside park Trail maps available at check-in Best Winches for Pine Mountain
      With steep terrain and remote sections, a winch is essential gear.
      ATV: 3500–4500 lb UTV: 4500–6000 lb Synthetic rope recommended Shop Winches Best Tires for Mountain Terrain
      Deep lug mud tires (1"+ tread) 8–10 ply for durability Radial construction for mixed terrain Shop ATV Tires Essential Recovery Gear

      This park is best suited for intermediate to advanced riders who enjoy natural terrain, elevation changes, and a more self-supported riding experience.
      Final Thoughts
      Pine Mountain Trails stands out as one of the best backcountry-style ATV parks in Oklahoma. With long loop trails, natural terrain, and 24-hour riding for campers, it offers a unique experience compared to more commercial parks.

      So, i go to change the oil in my 2k Y 400 BB and, without reading what types of oil to use, i just put in 10w-40 motor oil.....then i decided to read exactly what type of oil i should be using. Apparently, the ATV oil is designed to also work with the clutch..lol...which is probably  why i was having a few issues going into the gears, or, maybe losing 1st gear going down a hill. Ok, now that i got educated i bought like 6 quarts of the "special" oil required. 
      Now, my second issue is it was hard to start for some reason. Usually it fires right up. So, once started i brought it up to the garage and removed the seat, thinking maybe the battery was weak from sitting. Nope...12.5 volts, but.....a mouse decided to build his nest right on top of the battery. I cleaned that all out, but, when i went to start it, the solenoid clicks and the starter just spins. UGH. One thing after another. No wires were chewed thankfully. Just kind weird the starter would do that all of a sudden when i messed with the oil.
      Do i need to pull the starter now and check the bendix thing? It spens real nice, it just won't engage. The wrong oil wouldn't do that...would it?

      Hey all,
      My name is Weston and I own a small engine repair shop in Pueblo, Colorado. I've only been repairing engines for 2.5 years so I still have plenty to learn. I look forward to learning from you all and pitching in on problem-solving when possible.
      Thanks for the add!

      Semi went to the dark side from only two wheels about 2 years ago with the purchase of a CForce 1000 Overland.  Then yesterday, I fully dove in, purchasing a ZForce 800 Trail.   For the past 25 years, I have only been a Single Track, Enduro, Adventure and Sport Touring motorcycle rider.  But upon moving to the Colorado Western Slope and finding thousands of miles of two-track, I just had to have the 50" experience as well.  Also, there is the fact that the wife and I (she also rides motorcycles), turned 57 years old this year and we just don't feel as confident and comfortable tackling the challenging single-track stuff like we use too.   These four-wheeled critters will allow use to keep exploring the remote and lonely spaces we love.
      I look forward to reading and learning more.....
