Agnes is so cute it's hard to get mad at her; even when she's chewing on your $150 watch.

Want to see a few more...



ALTERNATE CAPTION...

We went down to Rainbow Falls last weekend and started off the ATV season with a bang.

I'm all for hiking on foot and enjoying the mountains, but unless you have three days to trek through five feet of snow...


There are few better ways to see the secluded spots within the Rocky Mountains. From old, abandoned mines and gold rush ghost-towns to quiet pastures and rocky outcrops - you can reach places on an ATV that only highly experienced hikers could reach otherwise.

To preserve the surrounding environment, always stay on the trail. Don't "blaze your own path" through the mountains. Be mindful of corners and hill crests so you don't injure yourself, another rider or wild animals crossing the track.

Above all - HAVE FUN! Life is short. Enjoy it.

If you're interested in ATVing check out Motosport Reviews for more information on which ATV would work best for you. I ride a Yamaha Raptor 660cc and my wife has a Yamaha Warrior 350cc. These are great for trails, dunes, racing and climbing. But if you want something that is going to do well in rocky areas and mud, you might opt for a 4WD model. See you on the trails...
