Hiking
Off-Road / OHV
Off-road and deep in the mountains, your jeep is taking you to places you could never access on your own. The top and doors are off and with little between you and the wild, the ride's exhilarating. Your driver doubles as a storyteller, with riveting tales about the abandoned gold mines you pass on your way. And you think, “This four-wheel adventure is one I'll always remember.”

Tread Lightly
In alpine environments, scars on the land take years, sometimes centuries to heal.
- Travel only in areas open to four-wheel drive or all-terrain vehicle (ATV) use.
- Minimize wheel spin. On switchbacks, avoid roosting around the apex of the turn when climbing or brake-sliding during descent.
- Avoid mud. In soft terrain, go easy on the gas to avoid wheel spin.
- Drive over, not around obstacles to avoid widening the trail.
- Straddle ruts, gullies, and washouts.
- Cross streams only at designated fording points, where the trail crosses the stream.
- Comply with all signs and respect barriers.
- When using a tree as an anchor, use a wide tree strap.
