While their difficulty rating is quite nice, that doesn't seem to be a
very comprehensive list. I checked Utah, and my 10 favorite roads are
nowhere to be seen.
A good place to start for off-roading in Colorado:

I have the Utah edition. I used to close my eyes, pick a spot out in the
middle of nowhere at random, and (assuming it wasn't on private property),
figure out how to get there. Alternatively, you can just pick a mountain
peak that looks interesting and point the front end of the truck at it, in
a general sense. You'll eventually come across a road or trail that'll
get you there, or if not you'll at least have an adventure trying to find
one.
My dad had a summer job in Green River, UT for a couple of years when I
was growing up. One year our family moved down there and lived there for
the summer. We managed to keep ourselves entertained for the entire
summer (which in that part of the country lasts from April to September)
with nothing but a Jeep. Every weekend we picked a different direction
and just went that way. Usually we just came across some dirt road or
Jeep track that looked interesting, and decided to see where it went.
Anyway, I'm rambling. The point is that we'll have no problem finding
good off-roading out there.
