We’ve Got You Covered – Colorado Enacts New Traction Law

According to Powder Magazine, “Drivers who don’t have an AWD or 4WD car equipped with the required tires (winter tires, all-weather rated tires, or mud and snow tires) must have chains.  Approved tires must also have a tread depth of at least 3/16-inches. Drivers who don’t adhere to the rules can face a $67 penalty.”

Luckily all our specialized Jeeps have a real 4 Wheel Drive system, additional clearance, and plenty of tread on our BF Goodrich All Terrain tires.  So next time you come to Crested Butte or Gunnison, rent the right tool for the job and be worry free.

There’s Nothing Like a Fall Wedding

Finally, I found these amazing photos from a few years ago.  Fall is a very special time of year here in Paradise.  The temps cool, crowds lessen, the colors flourish and time seems to stand still.  We were also blessed to have a Fall wedding a few years ago, and it’s a great time to be thankful for all the beauty out there.     

Customer Pics and the New Girl

Throughout our 11 years of business, we have received many amazing photos and video from our customers. This example includes our newest Jeep, Sahara.  She is a JL Sahara edition with 35” tires, leather and all the bells and whistles.  She’s looking really good with Emerald Lake in the background.  Thank you for sharing! 

May The Summer Begin

Our Crested Butte location is happily open for business now.  We took a little trip up Slate River Road and the trails are melting out.  Due to receiving less snow this year and almost nothing in April and May, the snow level is about 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule.  Thus, making this June extra special with more options of trails, roads and access to hiking trails. 

Book Now and Save

The snow is melting and the temps are rising, got to love this time of year! To celebrate, we are offering an additional 5% off multi-day rentals booked before Memorial Day, 5/26/25. So book now and save on your next Jeep adventure to Paradise.

Crested Butte Has the Most Beautiful Flower Field in the U.S.

“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.

What Turns a Frown Upside Down? 4’ of Fresh Snow

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. 

Winter Has Arrived Early

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.
