Jeep Tours and 4x4 Adventures
Explore backcountry roads and historic mining districts by Jeep, accessing areas impossible to reach by standard vehicles.
Off the Beaten Path
Jeep tours open access to the Royal Gorge region's backcountry—historic mining roads, remote overlooks, and ghost towns that few visitors reach. Guided tours handle the driving while providing context on the area's mining history and geology.
What's Included
Tour operators provide the vehicle, driver, and often historical narrative along the route. Routes may visit old mines, ghost towns like Victor or Goldfield, and viewpoints inaccessible by passenger car.
Options
Half-day trips cover nearby destinations, while full-day adventures venture deeper into the backcountry. For those with their own capable vehicle, many routes are driveable independently with proper preparation and route information.
