This two-hour morning snowmobile tour puts you on a machine and out into the snow-covered high country around Steamboat Springs. You ride groomed and backcountry trails, cutting through stands of pine and open meadows blanketed in winter white, with stops to take in the ridgelines and valleys. Guides lead the way, which makes it workable whether you've ridden before or you're swinging a leg over a sled for the first time.

The tour runs in the morning slot, a good window for fresh snow and lighter traffic on the trails. It's set up for groups, so it suits families, friends, or anyone looking to spend a half-day in the mountains without committing to a full-day outing.

This is a winter-only, seasonal activity, and reservations are recommended since spots fill when snow is good. Dress warm, come ready for cold air and bright light off the snow, and expect a guide to handle the route-finding so you can focus on the ride.
