I’ve lived in Colorado for 29 years and never gone Jeeping. My Family and I hike and bike and, you name it. This was so much fun! What a fabulous way to see Colorado sites....Yes I’ve been here a while and thought I had seen everything. Alma is hysterical, this woman has more energy and passion than Gloria from Modern family. My husband is an Engineer nerd and we loved the History and Mining education. I would highly recommended this crazy adventure!!

Lots to do in Colorado, but this is literally off the beaten path! We had a blast navigating the Jeeps, soaking in the sights, and learning about the history of the area. Much more fun than the zip line!
