Why YOU-Drive Jeep Tours Offer a Unique Colorado Adventure
You get to drive on a You-drive tour? Really?
Colorado is a state filled with rugged mountain trails, jaw-dropping views and endless opportunities for adventure. When it comes to experiencing this breathtaking landscape, there’s no better way to do it than in a Jeep.
But here at Native Jeeps, we take it a step further. Unlike traditional ride-along tours where you sit back while a tour guide drives, we hand over the keys and let you drive.
That’s right – with Native Jeeps, you get to drive the Jeep yourself. And here’s why that makes all the difference.
The Freedom of Driving Yourself
I personally wouldn’t want to sit in a car with a stranger, especially in such a close, personal space. I want to be in a Jeep only with my friends and family. It’s a special, intimate environment, and it should be shared with the people I care about most.
The freedom of controlling your own Jeep adds a level of excitement and personal satisfaction that you just can’t get by riding as a passenger. While ride-along Jeep tours have their appeal, nothing compares to having the wheel in your hands. It’s your adventure, your pace, your experience, and your people. With our YOU-Drive Jeep tours, the day is truly yours to enjoy.
Why the Colorado Backcountry is Best Explored in a Jeep
From red rock canyons to alpine forests and towering mountain peaks, there’s so much to explore. Too much, in fact, for hiking or mountain biking. Those activities are fun for the first 10 minutes, but then the altitude or the reminder that you’re not in your best shape kicks in.
Our YOU-Drive Jeep tours take you deep into the heart of this incredible landscape, covering vast areas of land and hidden gems that are only accessible by off-road vehicles. Driving yourself means you’re not just seeing the scenery – you’re part of it. You control where you go, when to stop, when to take a picture, or even when to switch drivers.
No Prior Off-Road Experience? No Problem!
If you’re new to off-roading, don’t worry. At Native Jeeps, we welcome drivers of all skill levels. As long as you have a valid driver’s license, you’re ready to drive!
We provide full training and support. We’re with you every step of the way, keeping an eye on you in the rearview mirror and guiding you through the trails.
Our guided tours ensure that you’re safe and confident throughout the journey, whether it’s your first time driving off-road or you’re a seasoned adventurer.
Top Trails for Your YOU-Drive Jeep Tour
At Native Jeeps, we take you on some of Colorado’s best off-road trails. Here are three of our favorite trails, each providing a unique adventure:
- Yankee Hill (Close to Denver)
Just outside of Denver, Yankee Hill is perfect for adventurers looking for an exciting but accessible off-road experience. This trail offers a great mix of scenic forest drives, rocky challenges, and wide-open vistas of the Rocky Mountains. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced off-roader, Yankee Hill delivers an unforgettable Jeep-driving experience close to the city.
- Kingston Peak (Near Denver)
Another favorite near Denver is Kingston Peak, which offers stunning panoramic views and a variety of terrain. The trail is a bit more technical, making it a great choice for drivers looking to test their skills while soaking in Colorado’s majestic landscapes. With alpine meadows and rocky passes, Kingston Peak is a must-try for anyone wanting to experience the thrill of off-roading while enjoying nature’s beauty.
- Vail Trail: McAllister Gulch & Camp Hale Loop (Full-Day Tour)
For a full-day adventure, we offer an incredible loop that connects McAllister Gulch and Camp Hale near Vail. This trail is a big loop and takes 5-6 hours to complete. It combines historical sites with breathtaking alpine scenery. You’ll drive through rugged backcountry, passing through the historic Camp Hale—a World War II training ground for soldiers—before heading up to McAllister Gulch, known for its expansive views and challenging terrain.
This loop offers a full day of off-road excitement, making it the perfect adventure for those wanting a deep dive into Colorado’s wild beauty.
