I lived in Denver for two years, well Aurora technically, but it's a suburb
of Denver. There are tons of trails within an hour drive of Denver that a
stock Dakota can handle. I used to go out with my '93 4x4 with just 31" BFG
AT's and never had any problems (on the right trails of course). Like Jason
said, there's all kinds of old mining and logging roads that everyone could
drive down, and then there are sideroads all over the place that the more
adventurous guys can try out for a lil more of a challenge. I've got a few
trailbooks for CO, but they're in storage.
