The high mining country above Leadville
Plan

Good to know.

Altitude, seasons, what's included, and how to book. If your question isn't here, call (970) 930-7027.

How high is the lodge, and will the altitude affect us?

Leadville sits at 10,152 feet and the ranch is right around there. Most people feel the thin air the first day - take it easy, drink plenty of water, and go easy on alcohol the first night. It passes quickly, and the views are worth it.

When is the best time to come?

There are two seasons. Winter (about December into April) is snowmobiling on groomed trails and powder. Summer and fall (about May into October) is UTV and dirt-bike riding, with Mosquito Pass melting out for roughly July through September. Tell us what you want to ride and we'll match the dates.

Do we need riding experience?

Not for the trail snowmobile tour or the UTV tours - guides cover the machine and the route, and you can ride along with the guide. The off-trail snowmobile High Adventure and the dirt-bike rides are for riders with experience.

What's included in a stay-and-ride?

The lodge to yourselves, guided rides each day, current-year machines, helmets and gear, private ranch access and owner-guides out front. We confirm exactly what's included and what it runs when we build your trip.

How do we book?

Owner-direct - call (970) 930-7027 or email us your dates, group size, season and what you'd like to ride, and we put the whole thing together. No booking site, no markup.

How do we get there?

Leadville is about 25 minutes from Copper Mountain, an hour from Vail and Breckenridge, an hour and a half from Aspen in summer, and about two hours from Denver International.

Reserve

Come stay on the mountain.
