Four Wheel Drive Tour

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TOUR

WHEN: Saturday, September 27, 2025

ARRIVE: 8:00 AM 

START LOCATION: 

Parking lot north of Panera Bread - 1855 29th St, Boulder, CO 80301

COST: Registration is $43 per person.   Lunch included!

Cayenne, Macan, and Off-road 911 owners, this is for you!

It is time for another 4X4 Tour – this time around Nederland, CO!

Come out and drive some Forest Service Roads meant for your four-wheel drive vehicle.  Be ready to get some dirt on your tires, cross little creeks, and see some spectacular views!   

We found a route that will make you think you are deep in the woods!   The route may teach you a little about the ability of these vehicles.  Trust me, these vehicles can do much more than what we will attempt!

Nothing too rough!  It may be something you have never tried before!  Forest Service Roads have rocks and it will be a little bumpy!  Don’t bring anyone who may get car sick easily.

New to off roading?  Don’t be worried, I will instruct you on how to approach rocks, ruts, and tree stumps!  You are best to learn from someone who has been off road and it is also best to go with other people!  Let alone it is more fun to be in a group!   

Space will be limited.  Be ready to “rough it” as we will be in the wilderness and bathrooms are hard to come by!  Also included is a little train history for you railroad fans!

Afterwards, we will drive to have a well-deserved lunch.   YOU MUST REGISTER!  The trail system does not accommodate big groups very well.

THINGS TO KNOW:  All wheels and tires are welcome!  I would suggest a 4” or more sidewall (the rubber from the rim to the top of the tire) would be ideal. 

As the trail could be slick, summer tires are not recommended.  Holly set up this tour and if you know her, She would not pick a trail that I wouldn’t take her “Concours” car show Macan on!!!

*There is always a chance you could get a puncture in your tire or a scratch on your wheels. 

*PCA will not be held liable.

All participants will be sent a form for a self inspection of your vehicle to be completed prior to the event. This is optional to turn it in but we encourage you to complete it and correct any non-compliant items. This is a Category 2 off-road event.

REGISTRATION FEES:  $43 per person – Lunch with soda or ice tea is included (plus tax, tip, and admin fees).

Please feel free to fill your seats and bring family, friends, and dogs!

Please arrive before 8:00 AM to sign in.   Driver’s meeting PROMPTLY at 8:15 AM.  All participants will be verified of registration and must sign a PCA tour event waiver and attend a drivers' meeting.

Drive Description of the 4WD Tour:  The Tour will be starting in Boulder and ending at the Wondervu Cafe.  We will drive up into the mountains and start out on some easy Forest Service Roads with lots of camping. We will slowly get on trails that are a bit bumpier and narrow in spots.  We will get into the thick woods and will have a few small creek crossings….some may just make your tires wet in one spot! LOL   We will have a couple of hill climbs (don’t worry, they are not very steep!), some tight turns, and you should have the feeling you accomplished some off-road driving when we are done!  We will stop for some photo ops and for some off-road instructions before the interesting parts of the trail come along.  We will also see some railroad history before we head off to lunch!

DRIVING DETAILS WILL BE EMAILED TO YOU PRIOR TO THE EVENT!  The route will not be shared with non-participants until after the tour! 

We are looking for volunteers to allow us to run the tour with two groups. We need one lead with off-road experience and two sweeps. Please indicate on the registration that you are volunteering to help make this a success.
