Telluride Offroad Adventures runs guided Jeep tours on the historic mining roads and mountain passes of the San Juan Mountains above Telluride, Colorado. Our routes cover the high country that made this corner of the state famous: Imogene Pass at 13,114 feet, the Black Bear switchbacks above Bridal Veil Falls, Ophir Pass, Last Dollar Road, and the ghost towns of Tomboy and Alta.
Every tour leaves from your door in Telluride in a modified, open-air Jeep Gladiator that seats up to ten guests. Guides are long-time locals, certified in First-Aid and CPR, and we operate under a permit from the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forest. Whether you have two hours or a full day, there is a route that fits.

How much adventure do you want?
Alta Ghost Town and Last Dollar Road are our gentlest rides. Imogene and Ophir Pass are in the middle. Black Bear Pass is the most technical route we run, with serious exposure.

Who is in the Jeep?
Families with young kids do well on the two-hour tours and Alta. Guests with neck or back injuries should skip the rougher routes. Groups of six or more can take a private Jeep.
