    Fantastic side by side tour with Beans as our guide. Weather conditions were tough - rain, cold, hail - but Beans kept us safe and shared great history about Camp Hale and the area. Vehicles worked great and all our family members got to swap seats and take a turn driving. See more..

    Our group of 6 had a great time kayaking around Lake Dillon in Colorado. Our guide gave us clear instructions (some of us had never kayaked before) and told us all kinds of things about the areas/mountains around the lake. Would definitely do it again! See more..

    Telluride Offroad Adventures image
    We have done two different trips with this company and will absolutely come back for more! We highly recommend making time to explore Telluride and surrounding areas with Telluride Offroad Adventures. Herb was our guide both times, and he was so friendly, knowledgeable (we learned a ton of history about the area from him!), and made us feel safe on the shelf road. You'll get some incredible photo opps and create a lot of fun memories! 10/10 recommend. See more..
  4. 5.0 Lucky 8 Ranch (194 reviews)
    - Bison and Vistas around Steamboat Springs
    Monday: 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM 4WD, ATV & Off-Road Tours • Sightseeing Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours
    Lucky 8 Ranch image
    We thoroughly enjoyed the ATV tour around the 3100 acre Lucky 8 Bison Ranch. Our guide, Emily, led us up, down and around this beautiful elevated area. The ranch now has about 400 head of bison. We got close (and stayed in our vehicles) and learned about their habits, history in the US and watched them in their environment. Emily also took us to vista lookout points. Each couple/family drove their own 2 or 4 seater Polaris vehicle. Driving at a moderate speed took some concentration. The tour was all of 3 hours. But other than hiking in the forests, I can think of no better way (outside of winter) to get a feel for the landscape and ranch environment of the Steamboat Springs area. See more..

    Canyon Trails Ranch Guided Horse Tours image
    My husband, 13 year old son, and I went on a 3 hour tour with Shelly last week. It was AMAZING! Our guide was so knowledgeable about the area and the ruins. The horses were beautiful and very gentle. Biscuit, the dog, followed us the whole way. The views were breathtaking, and the experience was like no other! This was money well-spent, and I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area! See more..
  6. 5.0 Colorado Wolf Adventures (138 reviews)
    - Amazing opportunity to be up close to these special animals
    Monday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Nature & Wildlife Tours
    Colorado Wolf Adventures image
    My daughter, sister, and I had the pleasure of doing a wolf walk this past weekend. It was really a unique and informative experience for us. Not only were we able to walk a wolf on a leash, but we got a very nice education on these wolves such as their day to day activities, their habitat, and their background stories. It’s clear the people that work at Colorado Wolf Adventures love and care for the animals very much. Both Ghost and Spirit were beautiful physically and spiritually. The price included a ton of pictures being taken and them being put on a jump drive to take home. We will definitely do this walk again when in town the next time. Thank you Peggy and all your helpers!! See more..
  7. 5.0 Dave's Mountain Tours (61 reviews)
    - Absolute must do tour when in Telluride!

    Dave's Mountain Tours image
    Absolutely stunning adventure with a first rate outfit! We had Curtis as our guide as we headed up the Mountains in Telluride on an old mining road in an open air Pinzgauer. Curtis not only knew his stuff he was safe and awesome on a road which can get a little rough to say the least - imagine this road used by miners 140 years ago and it’s just amazing! Views galore, as comfortable as you could be and one of the best tours we’ve taken. Absolutely highly recommend! See more..
  8. 5.0 Monarch Dog Sled Rides (56 reviews)
    - Absolutely the BEST experience
    Monday: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Nature & Wildlife Tours
    Monarch Dog Sled Rides image
    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. The owners Caleb & Deanna were very kind and obviously love what they do. They introduced us to each of the dogs and then gave us an interesting history of dog sledding and the Alaskan Husky. We got to harness one of the dogs and watch the excitement of the dogs as they were hooked up to pull the sled. These dogs love to pull! It was a thrilling ride through gorgeous scenery. If you get the opportunity don’t miss this experience. Worth every penny, hope we can do it again! See more..

    - Awesome!
    Monday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Private Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Photography Tours
    Don Mammoser Photography image
    This was the fourth trip I have taken with Don, and we originally scheduled to go to the Galapagos in 2020, then 2021, both postponed because of COVID and finally it happened this year. This was the most overwhelmingly beautiful trip I have ever taken and Don‘s arrangements for all the details were impeccable. What’s really fun about being with Don is that he gets as excited as we do about all the wildlife and beautiful scenery. He has a wonderful way of being a mentor as well as a companion to all of us. His relationship with our wildlife guide as well as the boat crew on this Galapagos tour was affectionate and respectful, and the opportunities for great photographs were abundant and spectacular. He took the time to make sure everybody had the correct settings, and some folks who had new camera systems were incredibly grateful for his patient help. I’m so impressed with him as a leader, that I’ve already booked his February 2023 Costa Rica trip. He’s awesome! See more..

    Llama Trekking by Lookin Up Outfitters image
    My husband and I had the awesome pleasure of a sunset hike with Brianna and two of her llamas (Beau and Chinook)! We had the best time learning about llamas and life in Colorado with Brianna. She is a wonderful and considerate guide who went above and beyond to show us a beautiful time. In addition to our trek, she took professional photos of us, showed us around her property, let us meet her other animal friends, and gave us a cute surprise at the end! Highly recommend if you’re in town! Thank you Brianna! See more..

    Gore Range Outfitters image
    Gore Range made this a wonderful experience for us. They were highly professional, prompt and went out of their way to adjust our ride time - before inclement weather moved in to the area. Glen, Kira and Holly were amazing. If you visit the Silverthorne, Dillion, Frisco area don’t miss riding with this team. Thank you again!!! See more..

    Gone Fishing Colorado image
    Been coming to CO for years, never took a fishing trip down the Roaring Fork till now. But then never fly fished and haven’t held a rod in years. Evan at Gone Fishing made me feel like the stunt double in A River Runs Through It. It’s clear he knows the river and kept us on the fish. It’s clear he can teach an old dog new tricks. And it’s as clear as river we ran that setting a hook takes practice. It was not the perfect day, but then Norman Maclean said; “Many of us would probably better fishermen if we did not spend so much time watching and waiting for the world to become perfect.” Book your trip today. See how close to perfect Gone Fishing and Evan can cast you. See more..
  13. 4.5 Morrow Point Boat Ride (42 reviews)
    - Morrow Point Boat Tour - Highly Recommended & Wonderfully Memorable
    Boat Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours
    Morrow Point Boat Ride image
    This was such a memorable experience for us, I would highly recommend it to all in the area. Ranger-led expeditions are always so enjoyable and full of information. You start down the Pine Creek Trail, all 232 steps of it, down to the canyon floor and then it's a short walk along the Gunnison River to the Pine Creek Boat Dock. The boat departs at 10AM and they advise you to get there a bit early considering the hike. The fee was $24 per person and reservations are required in advance. The rangers do a quick introduction and safety presentation and then you load up onto the small pontoon boat for a 1 1/2 hour guided boat tour along the reservoir and into the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The rangers tell you all about the geology and history of the region and point out several points of interest including the Curecanti Needle and Chipeta Falls. Be sure to wear sunscreen and bring plenty of water. The hike down is fairly easy however the hike back up Pine Creek Trail can be a bit strenuous in the afternoon heat. I can't recommend this adventure enough, I love to look back on my photos from our trip. See more..

    Music Meadows Dude Ranch image
    Fun and relaxing. Paige was great with our first time riders (11 and 16). The boys learned to saddle the horses, work the reigns, and then ride through the beautiful meadows with mountain backdrops. Horses well trained and the staff picked the right horse for each member based on personality. The three hour morning ride was perfect amount of time. See more..

    We went on a two hour ride with our three teenagers aged 14-19. The horses were great and appeared to be very well cared for. Our guide, Grace, was extremely personable and knowledgeable. We enjoyed ourselves immensely!! If we were to come back we would like to stay a night or two at the resort as well. Highly recommend! See more..
  16. 5.0 Bugle'em Up Outfitting (16 reviews)
    - Big Country & Big Elk!
    Nature & Wildlife Tours
    Bugle'em Up Outfitting image
    My son and I just wrapped up our second year with Bugle ‘Em Up Outfitters and have had an amazing experience. Preston & Brad have quality camps set up and good pack horses to get up the mountain. You’ll be hiking a lot while you’re hunting, but it’s worth it up on the mountain. This past year I pulled the trigger on an elk early morning in the bottom of the Carbonite Basin at 11,000 ft. Brad had horses to us that afternoon to pack out the elk, brought extra horses to us to save us the hike, and took the meat to a local processor while we hunted the rest of the trip. They even picked up the meat for us later that week and brought it to the horse barn! Highly recommend Preston & Brad, both as outfitters and outstanding people. Have already booked next year’s hunt and look forward to another great experience. See more..

    Mountain Master Off-Road Tours image
    We took this tour on a whim after planning a visit to the area and learning that sometimes the dunes can treat visitors to unexpected sandstorms. Initially we had envisioned climbing the dunes or sand boarding, however we stumbled upon Mountain Master Off-Road Tours and decide to book the Dunes and Falls Tour. Our tour guide was Kyle, the owner and everyone agreed this was a favorite from our vacation. Kyle went out of his way to make sure everyone in our party was enjoying the tour, and he shared so much history of the area with us. If you are looking for an epic way to see parts of the dunes that you won’t be able to access without a guide, book a tour! See more..

    It's like going back in time, to days that are simple and genuine. We spent two summer nights here and stayed in the "Court Cabin". Every day was filled with new adventures. We rode horses, milked goats, collected eggs, read books in a hammock, ate gourmet meals, and had lively conversations with the family. What an incredible visit! We'll be back. And yes, dogs are more than welcome. See more..
