JJ's Jeeps is a Gunnison, Colorado-based outfitter offering guided and self-drive 4x4 tours in the Gunnison Valley. The company operates a program of five distinct tours: half day and full day guided Jeep tours, half day and full day "tagalong" self-drive 4x4 tours, and a geology-focused Jeep tour. Each itinerary showcases mountain vistas, wildflower meadows, and regional mining ruins while providing route selection for different skill levels.
Guided tours include experienced route leadership, safety support, and interpretive highlights. Tagalong tours allow guests to drive their own 4x4 while following a lead vehicle that provides guidance, assistance, and on-trail instruction. The geology tour is led by Dr. Amy Ellwein, a geologist who guides guests through the area's notable geological features.
JJ's Jeeps emphasizes safety, local knowledge, and small-group experiences to keep outings informative and manageable. Lunch is included on the full day guided tour, and half day options are available for shorter excursions. Tour descriptions note options for challenging and gentle trails so participants can choose based on comfort and vehicle capability.
