Booking and tour details
Telluride Offroad Adventures offers complimentary front-door pickup and drop-off at hotels or anywhere else within the Town of Telluride. Guests staying in Mountain Village meet us at the gondola base terminal in Telluride; the free gondola runs from Mountain Village down to town.
Dress warmer than you think you need to. Our Jeeps are open-air, and the passes are much colder and windier than Main Street. Wear layers, closed-toe shoes and bring a rain jacket, even on a sunny morning.
No. All ages are welcome, from toddlers to grandparents, and we carry guests of mixed ages and fitness levels every day. Guests with neck or back injuries should not ride the rougher routes, and we are happy to recommend a gentler one.
The trails are rough mountain roads, so expect some bumps. If you want the gentlest ride, choose Last Dollar Road or Alta Ghost Town. Our half-day Ophir Pass and Alta Lakes route is also far less aggressive than Black Bear.
Tours run rain or shine. Every Jeep carries a safari top that goes up in wet weather and blankets for cold mornings. If your guide judges the conditions unsafe, we will make a conservative call and work with you on the options.
No. Most tours are timed around lunch or breakfast, so eat before or after. Bring water and snacks for the ride; food is not provided on any tour.
Yes. Private and custom tours are our specialty, and well-behaved dogs are welcome on private tours. Private groups start at three people; call 970-708-5190 to build an itinerary around your group.
Yes. We make brief scenic and historic stops where you can get out, take photos and stretch. There is no hiking required, but the ground is uneven at some stops, so wear appropriate footwear.
