Winter snowmobile tours are now closed for the season. See you next season!
The Prospector Tour is an ideal introduction to snowmobiling for riders of all experience levels. Glide along groomed trails and take in breathtaking views of towering 14,000-foot peaks. This two-hour guided tour is perfect for families with children, single riders seeking a scenic ride, or couples sharing a snowmobile.
A stop at a snowy meadow allows kids up to 70 pounds to take the wheel of a kid-friendly snowmobile, while others can enjoy free time riding in a scenic practice area. Arrive 30 minutes early to check in and get ready for this fun and accessible adventure.
