More About the Author

Charles A. Wells graduated from Ohio State University in 1969 with a degree in graphic design. After practicing design in Ohio, he moved to Colorado Springs in 1980 and worked 18 years in the printing business. Over the years, he and his family enjoyed a wide array of outdoor activities including hiking, biking, rafting and skiing. He bought an SUV in 1994 and immediately got addicted to exploring the backcountry. He later joined a four-wheel-drive club and learned more about hardcore four-wheeling.
Dissatisfied with the four-wheel-drive guidebooks on the market, he decided to write his own. His first book on Colorado sold well enough for him to leave his regular job to write full time. He presently has six SUV/Jeeping books on the market-two on Colorado, one on Moab, one on Arizona and two on California, visit www.funtreks.com. He also started down a new path with a brand new ATV book on Moab. More SUV and ATV books are planned.

I have ridden in this area and surrounding ones for several years and I can say his ATV trail books are the best I have seen. They are accurate, stow away well in a pack and provide excellent information about the trails. You can plan your rides before your trip since the information is accurate.

The only suggestion I can make is a better system for rating the difficulty of the trails. While there are some really tough ones that I have turned around on, I think he rates them more difficult on average than I thought they were, in particular the moderate ones.

I highly recommend this for anyone riding in the area.

I have these books for several areas and found them to be invaluable for making decisions on where to go. Most of us have a limited number of trips we can make per season and this resource will really help you to close in on the best choices for you. Worth it's weight in gold applies here!
