Eagle County 4×4 is hosting our 3nd annual group camping weekend at Sylvan Lake State Park on September 12-15, 2025. Plan on arriving Friday afternoon or evening. We’ve reserved the large group campsite. Campfires will be allowed, subject to local fire restrictions at the time. The camping fee is per tent or RVs and includes all 3-nights.

Eagle County 4×4 is hosting our 2nd annual group camping weekend at Rancho del Rio for the nights of August 16 & 17, 2024. Plan on arriving Friday afternoon or evening. We’ve reserved the large group campsite right along the river including the covered picnic area. Campfires will be allowed, subject to local fire restrictions at the time. The registration fee (per person) includes riverfront camping, usage of the resort facilities (boat launch, picnic pavilion, etc), basic grillables on Friday evening if you’re there on time, daily breakfast, and a Saturday night cookout. Please plan out your fuel and supply needs. Northern Eagle County is a remote area. The nearest gas stations and grocery stores are in Kremmling, Eagle, and Edwards (all about 35 minutes drive). Rancho del Rio offers a small convenience store and limited regular gasoline. Expect isolated resort selection and prices. If your daily travels take you near town, it’s worth the detour. A club membership (associate or voting) will be required by the time of the event. What to bring:
camping gear
personal food and drink
GMRS radio for group communication
any recreation equipment (fishing, rafting, kayaking, etc)
extra fuel if you’re wheeling and not planning to visit town!
Optional activities:
We’ll self-organize trail runs in the area for Saturday and Sunday once we see who is attending. We’ll likely do Crescent and Mackinaw Lakes on Saturday and Sheephorn on Sunday.
Saturday night after dinner there will be live music by Ryan Balthrope & Slide Bayou.
Use of the resort property, including the boat ramp, is included.

Saturday, July 13 the club replaced the trail sign on Old Fulford Rd. It now acknowledges that the club has officially adopted the trail. The previous trail sign was installed in 1988, so it was in desperate need of replacement. The new sign more clearly warns that it is a high clearance 4×4 trail, as many cross-over owners were attempting it.
Before and after:

Flat Tops Overlanding 8/9-11

The club met Tuesday, October 10, 2023 at the Avon library.
We have tentatively have scheduled a ride-along with USFS staff to review this year’s work on Old Fulford Rd, and to discuss potential work for next year. This ride-along will be subject to any snow this week.
Starting next year we will likely be requiring an active club membership to participate in club trail rides. Those interested in learning more about the club will be welcome on at least one trail run as a guest before being required to join as a member. We’ll be reviewing this requirement as a future meeting over the winter.
We will be discussing dues for next year at our next meeting. Current dues are $100 for a voting member, and $50 for an associate member. These are subject to change for next year based on a membership vote.
If you are voting member, you should have access to the voting members only Facebook page. That page is used to discuss official club business. Please contact a board member if you need to be added.
Potential new trips discussed for next year: – Moab – San Juans – Benson Cabin
Effective today, all of the trail guides on the website will require you to log into your account with an active membership.
Join us for another Fall color run in our backyard! Come grab fuel first before meeting at the Eagle Visitor Center. Trails are TBD and will be set in stone after our monthly meeting.
If you are interested in putting input on what trail we do for this event please come to our monthly meeting at the Avon Libary Tuesday, August 29th at 6 pm. Hope to see you there!
