As the foliage season starts to wind down, we look forward to our hunters returning.  The Fall marks the beginning of hunting season here in the Gunnison County.  We are fortunate to be able to provide our hunters with a reliable off-road option to best get into the backcountry.  Also, with our regular season rates and an additional 20% off for weekly rentals, makes for an affordable and very capable transportation choice.

As summer fades, we move onto a very special time of year, Fall.  The Crested Butte and Gunnison region is known for having some of the best fall colors in the state.  With aspen trees as for as you can see, we await this magical time.  United airlines will be flying into GUC twice daily from Denver with a third flight on Saturdays until December 2^nd.  While JSX will be arriving five times a week until September 30^th.  For more info check out GunnisonCrestedButte.com page specifically for the Fall season:

We are happy to announce that last week we celebrated our 10 year anniversary with a free hot dog event to thank the community for a decade of fun.  It has been a journey and we are grateful to all those who have helped us along the way!

“Some of the world’s most spectacular flower fields are found in the tiny mountain town of Crested Butte, Colorado.  It is perhaps appropriate that the most beautiful flower fields in the U.S. (and the second most beautiful in the world) are located in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, where snow tends to linger,” accordingly to Travel + Leisure.

Through out the 9 years of operating our business the amazing beauty found in these fields never gets old.  Even us locals love to get up to the high country and take as many photos as we can.   As natural beauty like this never ceases to amaze us all.

We are happy to announce the arrival of our new girl named Daisy.  She is a yellow 4 door Altitude edition Wrangler with a 3” lift, 35” BF Goodrich T/A all-terrain off-road tires, K&N air filter, Bilstein shocks and steering stabilizer with heated leather seats.  We named her Daisy after Daisy Duke from Duke’s of Hazard because she is good looking and wants to play!  Ask for her specifically next time you rent a Jeep from us and take a ride to the high country in style.   

We are happy to announce that we are now offering child seat rentals as well.  With a total of three child seats, consisting of two all-in-one or 3-in-1 adjustable seats and an infant seat/carrier.  Rates run at $5 each per day, plus 5-25% off for multiday rentals.  So, if you are traveling with children under 15 years old, leave your bulky seats at home and we’ll have you covered when you arrive.

Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) reported to have received over 4’ of fresh powder snow in the last few weeks.  The skiing and snowboarding has been amazing!  So much we’ve had a customer extend their stay to, what we like calling, slaying the pow.  Aka skiing deep almost bottomless snow.  It’s a sensation that tops them all if you ask me.  So much so the entire valley is buzzing with excitement as the resort opens up new terrain almost daily. 

As an avid skier I am always watching out for the snow, but when you live in a ski town the ironic thing is you’d prefer for the 1st snow to wait as long as possible to have a good solid snowpack. But not this year! Old man winter came early dropping 30″ up at Irwin for example. But that’s ok because our Jeeps are ready with clearance and tires which work great in the snow. We have updated our ’23-’24 winter pricing, ranging from $159 to $199 per day. Our 4 doors are particularly popular as they have seat belts for 5 people and a large trunk for luggage. Call today to book your Jeep for this winter.

It’s no secret that the Fall in Crested Butte and Gunnison is absolutely amazing.  We have one of the largest aspen groves in the world, making Jeeping this time of year extra special.  I personally love this time of year, with less traffic on the trails, mountain vistas for days, cooler temps and the diversity of color as we watch the foliage season unfold.  For example, here is a photo shared from a happy customer in early October of last year and just had to share.  Thanks Dustin!

Our passion is sharing the beautiful landscapes, trails, views and flowers of the Crested Butte and Gunnison zones.  We love meeting great people, showing them where to go, what trails to hike, where to go fishing and especially getting some nice feedback along the way. We appreciate you!

Here is some feedback from our happy customers from the past month:

“Very friendly! Easy to reserve and pay for over the phone. We look forward to seeing you in September.”

“Craig was great. Listened to what we were interested in and gave us several trail options. Did not disappoint.”

“The owner is an amazing human and so helpful!”
