Side by Side Off-Road Adventure
Overview
Shift into adventure mode on a guided UTV side-by-side tour at historic Bair Ranch, a private 6,000-acre working ranch set in the heart of Glenwood Canyon, just minutes from Glenwood Springs and about a 30-minute drive from Vail and Beaver Creek. You’ll follow your guide in a comfortable Polaris Ranger, a stable side-by-side, as you explore terrain far beyond what typical rentals or public trail systems offer. This exclusive experience provides access to rugged backcountry landscapes and sweeping views that most visitors never see.
The tour includes approximately 2.5 hours on the trail, beginning with a safety briefing and orientation before heading out. From there, the route climbs through a diverse mix of terrain, including open meadows, aspen groves, high desert ridgelines, and wildlife-rich areas, gaining elevation from around 5,500 to nearly 9,000 feet. It’s more than just a ride—it’s an immersive journey through Colorado’s varied and scenic backcountry.

What To Expect
Take the wheel and explore the rugged backcountry of historic Bair Ranch on a 3- or 6-seat UTV side-by-side adventure, just minutes from Glenwood Springs and an easy drive from Vail and Beaver Creek. Following your guide, you’ll drive through more than 6,000 acres of private Colorado ranchland, navigating scenic trails, rolling hills, and wide-open terrain with sweeping views of Glenwood Canyon and the Colorado River. This is not a crowded trail system or a basic off-road ride—it’s an exclusive experience on private land, far from traffic and overused routes. Along the way, expect a dynamic mix of winding dirt roads, moderate climbs, open meadows, and elevated viewpoints, creating a ride that feels engaging, scenic, and uniquely Colorado.
