Our tours

Step out of your everyday routine and into the driver’s seat of one of our custom-built Jeeps. Our tours begin with a comprehensive driver’s meeting and Jeep orientation to ensure you’re fully prepared and confident before we head to the trailhead.

Each tour is crafted to match your preferences. Whether you’re seeking awe-inspiring scenery, thrilling off-road challenges, a family-friendly outing, or perfect photo opportunities, we customize the adventure to fit your desires.

Or why not combine them all? As you navigate through Colorado’s stunning landscapes, you’ll not only enjoy the breathtaking views but also gain insights into the area’s rich history, learn valuable driving skills, and embrace responsible backcountry practices.

Since 2019, Native Jeeps has been offering unforgettable custom Jeep tours on the picturesque mountain roads of Clear Creek County. In 2023, we expanded to include our new Vail location!

As the only permitted You-Drive Jeep tour company in both Clear Creek and Eagle County, we provide exclusive access to extraordinary trails and one-of-a-kind adventures that are truly unmatched.

Our Jeeps

At Jeep Tours Colorado by Native Jeeps, our fleet is the heart of the adventure! We’re talking 2020 and newer JL Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited (4-door) and JT Gladiator Rubicon models, all decked out and ready to conquer the toughest trails.

Each Jeep in our lineup is custom-lifted for a reason—because we’re all about serious off-road performance and a wild ride. Equipped with Teraflex lifts and either 35” or 37” BFG tires, these beauties are built to handle anything Colorado throws at them.

And let’s not forget the extras: beefed-up steering components, rock protection, lights, bumpers, and winches to ensure you’re not just cruising but blazing through the backcountry with style and confidence.

We’re not just about driving – we’re deeply committed to ensuring every adventure is safe and sustainable. We work closely with the local Forest Service to keep our backcountry pristine and protected. Our guides are dedicated to preserving the natural resources and preventing trail and stream damage, ensuring that future generations can enjoy the same incredible landscapes.

With our extensive knowledge of the terrain and a genuine love for what we do, we provide more than just a tour – we offer a memorable experience steeped in local insight and a commitment to responsible exploration.

About Clear Creek County

Clear Creek County lays on the eastern slope of the Continental Divide, about 3,000 feet above Denver. Clear Creek famously held the gold flakes which first drew miners to the mountains early in 1859.

The Gold Rush prompted thousands to settle in the county, establishing picturesque towns such as Georgetown and Idaho Springs. The silver mines of Silver Plume created a booming miner’s community while Empire was picked for gold.

The county boomed throughout the 1880’s, only to mercilessly fall out of economic favor during the Great Depression. In the 1930’s the population abandoned the mine shafts, creating the ghost towns found throughout the county.

Today, Clear Creek County holds beloved destinations for Denverites looking for a weekend getaway. It is a mecca for outdoor adventure, famous for whitewater rafting tours, zip line tours, and incredible OTV and 4-wheel trails. There are world class hiking and biking trails. Loveland Ski Area attracts day skiers and Georgetown and Idaho Springs offer no shortage of historical structures, family friendly activities and great local eateries.

Information about historic Clear Creek County is available at Historic Idaho Springs and Historic Georgetown.

About Vail

Nestled within the breathtaking Eagle County, the Vail area stands as a testament to Colorado’s beauty and rich history. Beyond its world-renowned ski slopes that have earned it international acclaim, Vail holds a significant place in military history as a former training ground for the famed 10th Mountain Division during World War II. This alpine training instilled resilience and expertise in soldiers, which later contributed to the development of modern skiing techniques and the growth of the ski industry in the region.

The landscapes of the Vail area are rugged mountains, dense forests, and pristine valleys. The iconic Gore Range provides a dramatic backdrop for the town, while the sparkling waters of the Eagle River wind through the valley, offering a serene contrast to the adrenaline-pumping slopes. As the seasons shift, the Vail area transforms into a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, like hikers and mountain bikers.

With a blend of military heritage, world-class skiing, and awe-inspiring scenery, the Vail area captures the hearts of all.
