Ridgeline Tours is unique from any other tour company you’ve likely encountered before. Off-roading, and the discovery of out-of-the-way places, is our passion and has been since coming to Colorado over 30 years ago. Here are just a few of the things that set Ridgeline Tours apart from all others:

  • Our tours are 100% private for your group of six or less.
  • Our tours range from mild to wild and, based on your preferences, are planned just for your group.
  • Our owner personally drives every group.
  • Our vehicle is a custom Toyota Land Cruiser with safety, comfort, and off-road capabilities that are unmatched by nearly any other vehicle.

Think chauffeured limousine vs. mass transit…private jet vs. flying coach…a bespoke suit vs. off-the-rack…you get the idea. We travel to places other companies cannot reach and, because each drive is private, we can even adapt to your interests on the fly.  Want to stop and take a photo?…get out and stretch your legs?…take a detour to see what’s over that hill?…just say the word and we can make it happen!

Beyond Boundaries

Experience The Rockies Unfiltered and Unforgettable.

Join us for an unforgettable off-road adventure in the Colorado Rockies. Within each of the tour regions below, we have routes and destinations covering the familiar Green = Easy, Blue = Moderate, and Black = Difficult rating system used on the ski slopes. Simply pick your region, whether you want a full or half-day adventure, your preferred trail rating, and leave the rest to us. We will personalize a route specifically tailored to your group size, age range, and comfort level. Snacks and beverages are included with every tour, and full-day tours also include a picnic lunch.

Collegiate Peaks Tour

Many of our tours in this region begin with a visit to the ghost town of St. Elmo, largely deserted after a fire in 1890.  From there we’ll climb above the tree line to see abandoned mines, alpine meadows, and high mountain lakes.  We may have time for a snowball fight, even in July and August! On the way, we’ll drive across South Park, the site of an ancient sea bed, where hundreds of pronghorn antelope roam along with a few bison.  With any luck, we may see a variety of other wildlife including pikas, marmots, and even moose.

Front Range Tour

Many of our tours in this region follow the historic paths of the Gold Rush era, from old stagecoach and railroad routes to mining towns past and present.  This region is ideal for those who love a mix of adventure and history.  Thanks in large part to the lower elevations, this area allows for year-round tours.

Continental Divide Tour

As the name implies, all tours in this region cross the Continental Divide, traveling over high mountain passes used by Native Americans and settlers during the westward expansion.  On the way, we’ll drive across South Park, the site of an ancient sea bed, where hundreds of pronghorn antelope roam, along with a few bison.  With any luck, we may see a variety of other wildlife including pikas, marmots, and even moose.

Our Civilized Tours

Not into rough, rocky roads but still want to see breathtaking scenery, amazing fall foliage, the possibility of wildlife sightings, but with a cappuccino and a little shopping thrown in?  We have you covered with these four civilized routes where hiking boots are not required.

Aspen via Independence Pass

On this route, we’ll travel over the Continental Divide to Aspen via the highest paved road in Colorado, the 12,095’ Independence Pass.

Georgetown via Guanella Pass

This route begins with a scenic drive up the Tarryall River valley and then above the timberline as we travel over the 11,670’ Guanella Pass and down into Georgetown, one of the best-preserved Victorian towns in Colorado.

Breckenridge via Hoosier Pass

This route will take us through Leadville, the highest incorporated city in North America, and also through Breckenridge, one of the most well-known ski destinations in the world, via the 11,542’ Hoosier Pass.

Historic Gold Camp Road

This route will take us around the back side of Pikes Peak into Colorado Springs, where we’ll also drive through the Garden of the Gods and Old Colorado City. Gold Camp Road, the old railroad route from Colorado Springs to the rich gold mines of Cripple Creek, still passes through some of the original railroad tunnels from the late 1800s.
