About
Snowmobile tours on the Grand Mesa are a great way to get out and see the beauty of the national forest. Our guides will lead your snowmobile tour on groomed trails, forested single track trails, open meadows, and lead you to beautiful scenic vistas. These tours are family friendly and a great way to spice up your Colorado vacation.
Benefits of a guided snowmobile tour: do not worry about a map or where you are going, have a guide show you around. The guides know the best scenic viewpoints and safe riding areas. Our snowmobile tours include: snowsuits, boots, gloves, helmets, goggles, neck gators, the price of gas and oil. We also include hot cocoa (with plenty of marshmallows) after your snowmobile tour to warm you back up! 16 and 17 year olds may drive their own snowmobile when accompanied by a parent or guardian.
For the morning three hour tour, you arrive at 8:30 and the ride is from 9-12. This gives you time to sign waivers, get gear, and listen to a safety and operating instructional talk.
The afternoon tour, you arrive at 12:30 and then ride from 1-4.
