THE COMPANY
At Alpine Scenic 4×4 Tours, we prefer the road less traveled. “Adventure farther” is our motto.
All of our half day tours give you about 4 hours of exciting sightseeing, no matter which destination you choose. We keep our best tours close to Ouray, so there is very little highway travel. We strive to avoid crowded areas and explore little known side roads whenever possible.
During your tour, our knowledgable guides will share information about historical sites, geological features, local wildlife, flora and fauna over our onboard PA system. Stops are made to allow you to take photos or short scenic walks, but we don’t hang out in any one place for too long unless it is requested – there’s a lot to see so let’s get out and explore!
THE PHILOSOPHY
At Alpine Scenic our clients tour in safety, comfort and satisfaction. We strive to take you off the beaten path. We pride ourselves in our ability to take your interest and apply it to the San Juans. We are Ouray’s #1 source for CUSTOM tours. Describe to us your dream day in the alpine – we can make it happen. Let’s get away from the heavily traveled paths. Our group tours touch on a little bit of everything; nature, history, geology, the sport of the 4×4, and adventure. We want to deliver a special day to our customers, from birthdays to memorials to weddings.
WE SPECIALIZE IN GUIDED TOURS, ONLY – WE DO NOT RENT JEEPS OR ATV’s!
Always feel free to call us with questions or to book your trip, although we encourage you to book online. For bookings 12 hours or less before departure please call 970-318-6513.
THE EQUIPMENT
Our 9-seat group tour trucks are modified Dodge Ram 4×4 beasts, with lifted and modified suspension systems to give YOU the most comfortable ride and superior views. Integrated steps make it easy to enter and exit these vehicles, so everyone can enjoy the scenic wonders of the San Juan Mountains. The passenger seating area in these trucks is complete with individual bucket seats, with lots of leg room. None of our competitors offer bucket seating…life is too short to sit on a bench!
We have 4 private tour vehicles – all of which are Jeep brand! All of these vehicles offer comfortable rides with convertible tops to keep you warm and dry no matter what the weather has in store. Our Jeep Gladiator is equipped with 2 bucket seats in the rear seating area for awesome views.
Trips are charged in full at the time of booking. We have a 48 hour cancellation/reschedule policy if you can’t make it or need to change your tour date.
