We’ve got great news to share! Finally, got a chance to post it but I take Maxine out and was blessed by the open access to Paradise Divide, Paradise Basin and access to the West Maroon Bells trial, of course with a lifted Jeep. We’ve been a few weeks behind normal schedule with all the snow we received this winter, however with warmer temperatures the snow is melting away very fast. More trails to open up soon as the creek levels start to lower some more. Plenty of amazing trails, terrain and vistas to enjoy!

RMBL Releases New Snowmelt Forecast Map
Good news for us all, summer will happen. It’s no secret that we had one of the best ski seasons in a long time and as the days get longer, we all wonder when will the trails open. The good news is we had a large wind and sand event, which distributed a large amount of sand on the surface from Utah. Therefore we are expecting to have multiple Jeep trails opening up in June. Luckily for all you fellow weather fans, the Rocky Mountain Biological Lab (RMBL) has released a really cool new map forecasting snowmelt. You can check it out for yourself here:

Why Rent a Jeep in the Winter?
Crested Butte, Colorado is one of the top 10 most snowy towns in America. As you can see in the photo, CB turns into a winter fairy tail and all of our Jeeps have additional clearance and tires that work great in the snow. This is priceless, as no one wants to spend time digging out a car with street tires while on vacation. We are also able to deliver up to CB in the winter from our year-round Gunnison location. Our Gunnison location is right across the street from the Gunnison/Crested Butte (GUC) airport, making it very convenient.
We Do Weddings Too
Throughout the over 8 years of business, we have been blessed to help many couples join in marriage. This couple was one of our favorites, their love for each other was electric. Personally, I can say how helpful the Jeeps are to access a natural eye-popping background when we got married this month. If you are planning a wedding in Crested Butte or Gunnison, Colorado give us a call to see how we can aid in making your special day one to never forget.
We Love Our Repeat Customers!
After over 8 years in business, it’s truly been a pleasure to meet so many nice people and for this we are blessed. From personal text messages to a champagne bottle for our upcoming wedding to many of our repeat customers sharing photos and now a video, we are luck to call so many of you our friends. For example, one very nice long-time renter shared this video he made of when they rented a Jeep to access the beauty of Colorado. Hope you enjoy!
The Crested Butte Wildflower Festival Has Begun
The Crested Butte Wildflower Festival has started today, July 8th until July 17th, 2022.
