Our professional Side-by-Side guides will give you all of the proper safety instruction and operation lessons you will need and then you’re on your way! Bring your camera, because on a clear day you can see the two highest peaks in Colorado, Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive.
The morning and midday Side-by-Side tours include lunch at McAllister’s Grill, in our scenic lodge, at Camp Hale. Choose a made-to-order lunch from our menu and enjoy it in the Lodge or on the deck surrounded by majestic mountain peaks.
