PROSPECTOR TOUR

Two Hour Guided Snowmobile Tour

Check in at the Turquoise Lake Riding area at 1668 County Road 99, Leadville, Co. 80461

This guided tour features groomed snowmobile trails and spectacular views of 14,000 feet mountains. It’s a great  family activity with children, single riders looking for a scenic ride, or couples who want to ride together on the same snowmobile. Groomed snowmobile trails make this ride good for all levels of experience. Parents will enjoy a brief stop so children up to 70 pounds can take a turn driving a kiddie snowmobile in a snowy meadow, while other guests enjoy free-time riding in a scenic practice area.
