Back Country Jeep Tour

One of the best ways to see and experience the rugged mountain beauty of Aspen and Snowmass, is to venture off the beaten path, and take a four-wheeling jeep tour. This is one of our favorite tours in Aspen which is a must-see when you are vacationing there, no matter what time of year.

This trip starts with a spectacular drive up the Castle Creek Valley. We believe this is one of the most beautiful valleys in our area. During this ride, you'll pass one of the oldest Aspen forests, a colorful field of wild geraniums, and intriguing evidence of avalanches. Following that, we'll stop for a short historic stroll through the ghost town of Ashcroft. After Ashcroft we head up Express Creek Road on our rugged ascent to Taylor Lake. On the way, you will pass through the high alpine flora and fauna and see some of the most spectacular views of Colorado's fourteeners, which are peaks that reach a tremendous 14,000 feet above sea level. Finally with a view of the lake, lunch will be served. This particular trip is through the Blazing Adventure Activity Center in Snowmass.

In order to make it an incredible family experience, you can also have a videographer accompanying your group, to film the exciting moments and gorgeous views. For more information about how to create a truly memorable day experience or summer vacation in Aspen, email us at info@lereveoc.com.
