THE FIRST ADVENTURE ON THIS COMBO IS A TWO-HOUR SNOWMOBILE TOUR AT THE
TURQUOISE LAKE RIDING AREA: Arrive at
the Turquoise Lake parking lot at 8:30 a.m. at 1668 County Road 99 (Grand West
Drive), Leadville, Co. 80461.
Tour is from
9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

mandatory and provided, we do not use full face helmets. Wear warm winter
clothing, (ski wear is appropriate), insulated waterproof boots, gloves, scarf
or neck gator, goggles or sunglasses for eye protection. Face Coverings are required at check in. We DO NOT
provide clothing so guests arriving without appropriate gear cannot
participate.
When the paperwork is completed and you are all geared up, your guide will introduce you
to your snowmobile for a safety briefing before beginning your tour. Enjoy more
than 25 miles of groomed trails including a 15-mile loop that climbs up from
10,000′ to about 11,300′. We also ride in the meadows, past Campgrounds like
The Baby Doe, and on private areas like Rancho Escondido. This area provides
incredible photo opportunities as Mount Massive and Mount Elbert border the
area, their lofty peaks soaring up to 14,000′ feet, just across the lake. This
two-hour RIDE is for single riders only and the roads and trails will give you
the confidence to feel comfortable on the snowmobile and ready for the higher
altitudes and steep climbs on the 3:00 Performance Tour in the afternoon with
arrival at 2:30.
