Off-roading in SW Colorado?

Re: 4wd on pavement, now what...

Where can I find good info about off-roading opportunities for the novice in Southwest Colorado? I'm planning a trip to the Durango/Mesa Verde area for one week in July and would like to do a bit of light off-roading. I consider myself a novice with some limited mudding and Jeep trail experience in Central Texas and Big Bend National Park. I have a mostly stock '98 Cherokee 4WD with BFG All Terrains and a rear mount winch. Just looking for some nice, fun trails that won't cause my roof to be crumpled in. Thanks!

RE: old jeep

My brother and I went off-roading in SW Colorado several years ago and almost drove into a big hole...hmmm, what did the locals call it? Oh, yeah, Black Canyon of the Gunnison! (True story): We were in his '92 Corsica on an old dirt two-track cruising along, next thing we know we were hard on the brakes to keep from driving off into it!!!!

I would Google Durango off road.
