Colorado Snowmobile Adventures

Snowmobile Safari

[4 days, 3 nights] ...... $1588.00 Per Person .....
Experienced drivers / no dbls.


This safari departs Colorado Springs, to Buena Vista, where your adventure begins at the Cottonwood Trail head. From there it's about a half days ride to your cabin basecamp in Taylor Park. Along the way you'll cross the Continental Divide [elevation 12,126 ft.) at Cottonwood Pass. The incredible beauty of this area is awesome.

After lunch at the cabins you may double up, if you wish, and spend the rest of the day exploring trails in the area. After dinner, weather permitting, there may be time for a moonlight ride, if you signed up for one of our full moon trips.

On day two, it's off to Aspen. This exciting and challenging ride finds you barreling through a 10-20 ft. snowbase covered in powder.  Higher and higher up the mountain (over 13,000 ft.) until you reach the top of Taylor Pass, accessible only with the co-operation of mother nature, then onward to the Aspen Ski Lodge, on top of the mountain. There you can get a hearty warm lunch, if you so desire.  After taking time to enjoy the surrounding, we'll head back to our base camp. How many celebrities did you see? Well it's been a long day and it's time to eat, rest, tell tales around the Ole Potbelly stove and prepare ourselves for our final day of play.

Day three we'll spend the day visiting ghost towns, Tin Cup, St. Elmo and Hancock, and crossing Tin Cup Pass at 12,154 ft. A lot of wide open spaces today to really open up those machines.

On our final day we'll have breakfast pack up and head back over the Continental Divide to our pickup point where we'll head back Colorado Springs. We normally get back to the Springs between 4-5pm. Once you've been on this wild snowmobile adventure into the high country of Colorado, we'll be certain to see you again the next year for even a greater challenge.
