Highlights
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.

Lovely views. Incredible ranch. Great track and lots of variety on the trip. And extra words to make up the minimum
5This is a must-do...
This is a must-do activity if you're in the Glenwood Springs area! We had a great time exploring Bair Ranch--it's unbelievably beautiful!
5Phenomenal off-road adventure
We’ve been looking for a last summer break Highlight for our 14 year old boy. We didn’t expect what comes along when we booked this ATV off-road adventure, but it was the best decision to go with this provider. Friendly staff, great equipment and the tour to see Colorados nature areas was just phenomenal. The price definitely matches with what you will get provided. 5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ For sure we will book again.
5Book the tour!!
One thing everyone can appreciate is when an employee truly loves their job. E-Rock was hands down one of the best guides we have ever had on an excursion, you can tell he loves what he does and loves to educated people on what he loves. We did the tour with 2 kids ages 14 and 12 and both loved the experience. Even with the unfortunate haze and smoke in the area (completely out of anyone’s control) the grounds were still gorgeous and beautiful. This was the perfect way to end our Colorado adventure!
5Off Season off roading with the best guide!
There is definately a benefit to a post peak season adventure ride. Erock was the perfect tour guide. Not sure if this is the norm but Erock after assessing our capabilities gave us instructions to the next stopping point with clear instruction of places to be more careful along the way. Then he would zoom forward and let us go at our pace (many times fun and fast) and then we would catch up for pictures and the next instructions. He told us the history and geographical & geological information along the way. He was very knowledgeable.
5Great tour and gorgeous area
Super fun ride. Had a few other couples in the group and the ride guide who was super cool. Took the time to make sure everyone was comfortable with their machine and gave us a great tour of the area!

About Glenwood Springs
Glenwood Springs is a Colorado mountain town where the Roaring Fork meets the Colorado River, built around hot springs and the red-walled Glenwood Canyon.
Glenwood Springs sits at the meeting of the Roaring Fork and Colorado rivers, in a valley of red and gold sandstone cliffs on the western side of the Rockies. The Ute people knew the hot mineral springs long before miners and settlers arrived in the 1880s, and the town grew into a spa resort with a Victorian hotel and a grand bathhouse. The broad outdoor pool, fed by springs that emerge hot from the ground, is still the centrepiece.
