## Tours

**Guided Snowmobile Tours**: From $295. About 2 hours. Machine: Polaris Indy 550 LXE, ride single or double. Good for: First-timers, families, and anyone who wants the views without needing to be an expert

Two hours on professionally groomed trails through private and public land, with a guide out front and the Sawatch peaks in your face the whole way. The Indy 550 is easy to ride and forgiving. If you have never been on a sled, this is the one.

**Snowmobile High Adventure**: From $350. Half day, full day, or multi-day. Machine: Polaris Pro RMK 850. Good for: Intermediate to advanced riders who want off-trail powder

Off-trail riding on the private 1,000-acre ranch just outside Leadville and on public land: open meadows, hill climbs, tree riding, deep snow. The Pro RMK 850 is a mountain sled built for exactly this. Skills instruction is available if you want to get better at side-hilling and climbing instead of just surviving it.

**Snowbike Tours**: Call for pricing. Half day, full day, or multi-day, private guided. Machine: Yamaha 450-powered Polaris Timbersled. Good for: Dirt bikers who want to keep riding when the snow comes

A dirt bike on a ski and a track. If you ride moto in summer, a snowbike is the most natural way into winter riding, and the ranch's 1,000-plus acres of private land give you room to learn it. Private guided outings only.

**Winter UTV Tours**: Call for pricing. 3 hours. Machine: 4-seat Polaris RZR with a heated cab. Good for: Families, mixed groups, and anyone who wants the winter high country in comfort

**Guided UTV Tours**: From $450 per UTV, up to 4 riders. 3 hours, guided and supported. Machine: Polaris RZR 1000 Turbo, 4 seats. Good for: Everyone. Self-driven or ride along with the guide. Family friendly.

All-day guided single track and mining roads on current-year KTMs.

## FAQ

**Q: What is there to do in Leadville, Colorado?**

A: 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.
