Our Prospector Keystone Snowmobiling Tours are ideal for individuals, groups, and families seeking to explore a variety of snowmobile terrain in the presence of Colorado’s most dramatic scenery. The Prospector Tour is our most popular option for families with children, first-time riders, and adults who would prefer to double up and ride two people per machine.
This two-hour tour begins with a short meeting in which your guide will outline the operation of your snowmobile, followed by an open meadow practice session to become better acquainted with its handling. Guests then embark on a trail ride through spruce and lodgepole pine forests as they ascend towards the high alpine terrain of the Continental Divide.
Upon reaching the tree line, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of Colorado’s two highest peaks — Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive. Here you’ll experience open bowl and meadow riding with opportunities to open up your snowmobile’s throttle and make arcing turns across the surrounding mountainsides. Our free riding terrain also includes a meadow where children can try Keystone snowmobiling for themselves on child-sized machines located in a separate meadow — included free of charge. As tours descend from the Continental Divide, they stop by a historic miner’s cabin where guests can warm up with steamy cups of hot chocolate.
