Shake, Rattle and Roll in Glenwood’s Backcountry
ATV Tours
Glenwood Springs, Colorado is surrounded by mountains with views that will take your breath away. Stare down the sheer cliffs of Glenwood Canyon instead of up at them, marvel at the delicate beauty of a wildflower meadow in bloom, listen as the wind rustles through stands of aspen trees and contemplate the majesty of the snowcapped peaks. But if hiking for miles at Colorado elevations isn’t your thing, how do you get to those places?
ATVs or All Terrain Vehicles are an option that puts you where you want to be -- on the trail, in your timeframe. Glenwood Springs ATV tours suit many ages, abilities, situations and schedules. Even if you’re short on time, it only takes two hours for Glenwood Springs’ ATV tour companies to lead you into the backcountry for an authentic Western Colorado experience, and they’ll even serve you a home cooked steak dinner!
Glenwood’s ATV tours generally climb from a base elevation of 6,200 feet to 9,000 feet and take riders through a variety of mountainous terrain including sage flats, cedar forests, oak brush hills, aspen groves, dark timber and ancient volcanic lava beds. These remote locations prove excellent for wildlife viewing. Look for elk, mule deer, turkeys, grouse, fox, eagles and if you’re lucky, maybe a black bear catching a nap.
If you’ve never ridden an ATV, fear not, experienced guides will teach all you need to know in less than five minutes and provide you with the necessary gear. Remember ATVs are made for backcountry exploration. Their wide tires, low center of gravity and low gears enable them to safely and steadily crawl up hillsides, over boulders and through creeks. For long stretches though, go ahead, let the throttle out and enjoy the ride.
Bring your camera; you’re not going to want to miss this!
