Moving to Colorado in 3 weeks from Florida. Is there any good spots around Grand Junction? Is it worth brining my bike, or should I just sell it and buy a mountain bike? lol I mainly ride motocross, but kinda interested in some trail riding as long as its not sand like here in Florida.

There are tons of trails all over the state! you can use this to find trail maps from all over the state.
Stay the Trail
Also this is a great source for some pretty good maps of different areas of the state
Lat 40 Maps
Are you moving to Junction or just want to ride there?

Junction / Delta / Rifle have incredible riding. Trails, lots of open area stuff that is fun to jump, ride around. You will regret not taking a bike as you drive through there.

There's no lack of riding around Grand Junction. Go an hour south and it gets even better.

Here's a vid of my buddies and me riding the hills right next to the Grand Junction airport.
It was our first time out there, and we met a local that was nice enough to show us around all day. He's also a member of the Bookcliff Rattlers club, and you could probably find a bunch of new riding buddies if you hooked up with those guys. Here's their website: http://www.bookcliffrattlersmc.com/#! There are a bunch of trail maps for western CO on their site.
Some amazing tracks around the Denver area if your ever up for the 4 hour drive for a weekend adventure.

Yes, one, plus there's endless open terrain all around that track. Bring your bike.

So I bought a 2011 kx450f and went riding out by the airport,.....it was alright. Are there any groomed tracks around to ride at that anyone knows about? Or does everyone here just ride trails?

Not a lot of moto around Junction, most of the big tracks are near Denver,
Check these guys out:

While I realize Colorado cannot compete with Florida in the moto scene, you are living around some of the best trail riding in the country, challenge yourself with knarly singletrack instead of jumping doubles and going in circles, you might find that you like it.

I like jumping doubles and going in circles though lol.
There are a few awesome looking tracks around Denver though, guess ill be driving there every once in awhile. In the mean time guess ill be riding alot of desert!

Sorry but a guy from FLORIDA asks if it's WORTH IT to bring a DIRTBIKE to COLORADO? I've lost faith in humanity. 
Posted 02 November 2012 - 06:36 AM
Yes absolutely!!!,
Moab is close--kinda!
I know that gunnison is 2.5 hours away but hartman rocks is a great place to ride.
here is me riding a section of hartmans, my channel has some more trails if you want to see more.

There is great riding around grand junction and the town is big enough to find some people to ride with.
