If you're ready to trade ski boots for a steering wheel, Vail’s UTV tours are one of the most exciting ways to explore the Rockies. Unlike a Jeep ride, where you sit back and enjoy the view, a UTV puts you in control. These side-by-side machines are built for the backcountry—made to handle twisting forest roads, rocky climbs, and wide-open alpine meadows. The payoff? Breathtaking scenery paired with an unbeatable rush.

Short on time? The Guided Morning Side-by-Side Tour is the perfect half-day option. You’ll climb scenic trails and ridge-top routes with plenty of time to stop for photos or take in the views.

If you prefer to sleep in, the Guided Midday Side-by-Side Tour lets you hit the trails under the midday sun—ideal for families or small groups looking for adventure without the early start.

For sunset seekers, the Guided Afternoon Side-by-Side Tour delivers golden-hour lighting and cooler temps that make the mountain scenery even more magical. It’s a local favorite for travelers who want a relaxed but memorable ride.

Each of these tours is led by experienced local guides who know the trails inside out and prioritize your safety. Whether you’re chasing views, adventure, or a new way to experience Vail’s mountains, these UTV tours deliver pure Colorado fun.
