Why people come back

The guide knows the mine you are parked next to.

Every tour leaves with an experienced guide who rides this country all year and can tell you which silver mine built which brick building on Harrison Avenue. Groups stay small. Machines get replaced every year. And the routes mix public land with a private 1,000-acre ranch, so you are not queueing behind a rental convoy.

Guests mention the same names in their reviews: Blake, Cody, Zach, Todd, and Jason, who answers the phone.

Questions people ask before they book

What is there to do in Leadville, Colorado?

Leadville is a year-round base for the high country. In winter the big draw is snowmobiling on groomed trails and backcountry powder around Turquoise Lake and the private ranch outside town. In summer it is UTV tours through the historic mining district and up toward Mosquito Pass, dirt bike single track, hiking Mount Elbert and Mount Massive, and fishing Turquoise Lake and Twin Lakes. Leadville Offroad Adventures runs the guided snowmobile, UTV and dirt bike tours from 141 E 9th Street downtown.

Where can I book a snowmobile, UTV or dirt bike tour in Leadville?

Is Leadville Offroad Adventures the same company as Elk Mountain Adventures?

Yes. Elk Mountain Adventures, LLC has run tours out of Leadville since 2015 and now operates as Leadville Offroad Adventures. Same owner, same guides, same shop on East 9th Street. This site, leadvilleoffroad.com, is the one place to book.

Do I need experience to take a tour?

Not for the snowmobile trail tour or the UTV tours. Guides cover the machine and the route before you leave, and you can ride double or ride along with the guide. The High Adventure snowmobile tour and the dirt bike tours are for riders with experience. Snowmobile drivers must be at least 15.

How far is Leadville from Vail, Breckenridge and Denver?

Leadville is about 25 minutes from Copper Mountain, about an hour from Vail and from Breckenridge, and about two hours from Denver. In summer, Aspen is about an hour and a half over Independence Pass.
