Snowmobiling

Over the river and through the woods

Snowmobiling

Hundreds of miles of groomed snowmobiling trails slice through the backcountry in the mountains and on the mesas surrounding Glenwood Springs. In fact, Glenwood Springs is home to the famed Sunlight to Powderhorn Trail, a well-marked, 120-mile groomed track that travels between Sunlight Mountain Resort in Glenwood Springs, across the expanse of the Grand Mesa to Powderhorn Ski Area near Grand Junction, Colorado! Along the way, riders have access to more than 180 miles of additional groomed and ungroomed trails where they can let the throttle out, play in powder stashes and of course glimpse classic Colorado views that include Mt. Sopris and the West Elk Mountains. Other tried and true Glenwood Springs snowmobiling rides include treks through the Flat Tops Wilderness Area, home to thriving herds of elk and jaw-dropping views of iconic Glenwood Canyon.

Ready to ride? If exploring the Colorado winter wonderland surrounding Glenwood Springs sounds like something that could rev your engine, book a snowmobiling tour with one of Glenwood’s reputable tour companies. Experienced guides take visitors of many ages and abilities into the backcountry daily from mid-December until the snow melts.

Select from quick one-hour trips to all-out overnight excursions; but whichever you choose, be sure to bring your camera to capture all the thrills of the day. Also dress warm, similar to a day spent skiing; wear layers, warm socks, bring sunscreen. Snowmobile outfitters will make sure you have all the other equipment you need including snow pants or suits, helmets, gloves and boots. Guides will teach you all you need to know about how to operate the state-of-the-art snowmobiles that are equipped with built-in key safety features like independent front suspension and hydraulic disc breaking systems. Now that you’re dressed and schooled in the basics of snowmobiling, get ready to rev your engines and play the day away in a winter wonderland like no other.
