RWD friendly trails

[ExplorerTom]

I have a friend coming out to CO from KS this July. He wants to get out and do some trails with his 3rd or 4th gen Explorer. And it's only a 2wd. I forget what tires he has but they are larger than stock and have a decent all-terrain tread. They are going to be in Estes Park for a week but I'd like to put together a route to get him there from 285 or so.

Heres what I'm thinking:
Georgia Pass from Jefferson to Breckenridge
Pierson Park road into Estes

the middle section I'm struggling with. Maybe Oh-My-God Road. The trails don't need to be capable of being run all in one day. He said he'd like to do some camping along the way.

And then easy trails once they are in the Estes area:
Rollins Pass West
Johnny Park Road

any others?

i know we typically aren't looking at most of the trails we do in terms of being able to do them in 2wd, so I know this could be a little tough. Any help would be appreciated though.

You might check out Pole Hill. Most of it is really easy, and since it's rather a "maze" of sorts, you can make it as easy or difficult as you like. Fun to get lost up there!

Switzerland trail can be done in 2wd. I go up that trail every fall to see the colors.

I might be in the RWD club this season so it catches my eye.

I'm assuming he doesn't have any locking or limited slip diff either?

Pole Hill has a few undulating sections (that I recall) but I don't think it was crazy (one section was on a downhill too so it shouldn't be an issue)

If you are there to strap pull through a short section (on most any trail) I don't see much of an issue.

Loves me the Red Cone

Never done it but want to. Full size ok?

Agreed. You might have some Austin Powers moments, but do-able. (ETA: Just don't go left/Webster on the way down - WAY too narrow! I have my sphincter in my throat just in Cracker. Go right instead.).
