Backbone Adventures

About

The doors open at 7:30, which matters, because a half-day side-by-side rental goes further when it starts early. Most people take a Polaris RZR or Crew out onto the off-road trails with a trail map, and moose sightings come up more than you'd guess.

The rest of the lot covers Jeep Wrangler Rubicons, Polaris Slingshots for the paved mountain roads, eBikes, buggies and, in winter, snowmobiles. It's all self-guided. The shop is on North Lake Avenue, a few minutes from Lake Estes, and there's free ice cream, a small thing people remember along with a friendly crew. Hours run 7:30 to 5 every day, and the building is wheelchair accessible.
