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.
