Alpine Scenic delivers consistently outstanding experiences according to travelers, with guides like Steve, Joe, Cole, and Randy earning special praise for their driving expertise and deep knowledge of the Ouray region. These guides prioritize safety while navigating challenging mountain passes like Imogene, Corkscrew Gulch, and Hurricane Pass, with multiple reviewers noting how comfortable they felt even on narrow, high-altitude roads. The bucket seats in their vehicles get frequent mentions as a surprisingly important comfort feature during these multi-hour adventures. What really stands out is how well the company adapts to different needs. They've successfully hosted everything from standard sightseeing tours to a mountain elopement, adjusting routes and timing based on what guests want to experience. The guides clearly know the terrain inside and out, making weather-dependent decisions on the fly and finding off-route gems like hidden waterfalls. Booking is straightforward, and the staff keeps clients updated before tours. If you're looking to access spectacular high-country scenery that's impossible to reach in a regular vehicle, this operation has the experience and equipment to make it happen safely and memorably.
We loved our Alpine Scenic 4x4 Touring jeep journey into the mountains from our Airbnb in Ouray, Colorado up Corkscrew mountain and back. Our trip was from 2pm -8pm for our daughter and new SILs mountain elopement! We had a 10 passenger guided touring jeep. It was perfect. The driver was skilled, professional, friendly and worked closely with our photographer and videographer to find the perfect locations and views for amazing family wedding photos. The tour was customized to what our daughter and SIL wanted for their day. We had plenty of time for a “reception” gathering by the lake 1/2 way back down the mountain. This was the perfect wedding adventure! Alpine was very easy to book and everything was perfect! The jeep was prepared for changes in weather and the driver was amazing! He made necessary adjustments when we encountered sleet, cold and rain at the top. We loved our journey and more importantly, our daughter and new SILs mountain elopement was perfect as they hoped and imagined it to be!
