Afternoon Red and White Mountain Jeep Tour
Description
If you want to see the real Colorado, this Jeep tour is a great way to do it. In just a couple of hours, you'll ride through the Red and White Mountain area and see parts of the Rockies most visitors never reach. It's a leisurely afternoon in the fresh mountain air — no hiking or hard work required, just relaxation and enjoyment.
We start by heading into the White River National Forest. The Jeep climbs through pine and aspen trees, following dirt trails that wind higher into the mountains. Before long, you'll notice the air getting cooler and the views opening up. From about 10,000 feet, you can see layers of peaks stretching for miles. On a clear day, you might spot some of Colorado's famous fourteeners in the distance.
With your guide at the wheel, you're in safe hands. They're well-versed in the trails and will regale you with local tales, from the area's mining history to the evolving forest landscape and the resident wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for moose and deer in the meadows, and if you're lucky, you might even spot a black bear.
We stop a few times so you can take photos, stretch your legs, and enjoy some snacks and water. The ride back down is just as fun, with more chances to see wildlife and mountain views from a new angle.
Our Jeep tour offers a laid-back, uncomplicated adventure. It's just you, the Jeep, and the breathtaking high-country scenery of Colorado. By the end of the tour, you'll feel like you've spent a delightful afternoon exploring with a knowledgeable local friend.
