The Colorado Association of 4WD Clubs is a not-for-profit (contributions
are not tax deductible) umbrella organization for four wheel drive clubs
in the state of Colorado. We began in 1968. We are members of the
Colorado
Off-Highway Vehicle Coalition,
United
Four Wheel Drive Associations, and voting members of
Tread
Lightly! Annually we donate to Mountain States Legal Foundation
and to the Colorado Off-Highway Vehicle Coalition Legal Defense Fund
in order to support legal actions that maintain public access to public
lands. To support the education of our young four wheelers, we give
out an annual
Scholarship toward secondary
education.
The Colorado Association is more than a financial supporter
of public access. Annually our clubs do over 3,000 hours
of volunteer work on the campgrounds, picnic grounds, hiking trails,
and 4WD roads of Colorado. We also participate in the National Trails
Day event in June by taking a group of physically challenged people
on a 4WD trip into the Rocky Mountains for the day.
Many of our Member Clubs with
the support of our Associate (Business) Members
put on annual events. For example the Mile
Hi Jeep Club puts on the nationally recognized 'All 4 Fun' week.
In addition to large events almost all the Member Clubs have monthly
4WD trips ranging in difficulty and length.
The Association meets four times annually, once each
quarter, to conduct our association business and to share information
about upcoming events. Annually, we
also vote for the associations Four Wheeler
of the Year, and Club of the Year for
an individual(s) and club(s) that have shown outstanding support for
motorized recreation.
