Afternoon Camp Hale Jeep Tour

Embark on an exhilarating journey through the Colorado mountains. Climb into an open-air Jeep and set off on a two-hour expedition through the White River National Forest. Feel the invigorating crisp air as you ascend, and witness the breathtaking panoramas unfold before you — expansive valleys, dense pine forests, and majestic mountain peaks in every direction.

The road meanders towards Camp Hale, a historic site where soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division underwent rigorous training during World War II. Your guide, a seasoned historian, will regale you with captivating tales of life in this high-altitude haven. It's enthralling to envision the bygone days, surrounded by the same rugged terrain you're traversing now.

As the Jeep keeps climbing, you'll reach elevations close to 12,000 feet. The temperature drops a little, and you can see far across the Rockies — layers of peaks stretching into the distance. Depending on the trail, you might roll through open meadows, rocky passes, or stretches of wildflowers. There's always a good chance to spot wildlife, too — elk, marmots, or a hawk gliding overhead.
Enjoy the leisurely pace of the journey, with ample opportunities to pause for photos and take in the surroundings. It's a laid-back way to fully immerse yourself in the mountains, without the need for strenuous hiking or driving.

By the time you head back down, you'll have a better feel for the terrain, the history, and the quiet beauty of this part of Colorado. You'll leave with a sense of accomplishment, having experienced a genuine mountain adventure — just fresh air, great views, and a few good stories along the way.
