Discover what we've curated for you
Monarch delivers consistently excellent snowmobile adventures, thanks largely to their outstanding guides who receive glowing praise across the board. Dustin, Jake, Kevin, and Alexis all get enthusiastic shoutouts for being knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely fun to ride with. Guests love that guides pull them out of deep snow when needed, share local history, and keep the energy high throughout tours. The terrain stands out as uniquely exciting compared to other Colorado options, with challenging trails, freestyle meadow areas, and beautiful tree-lined routes that make for incredible photos. The whole operation runs smoothly from check-in to ride-out. Staff greet visitors warmly with coffee and hot chocolate by the fire while everyone gears up. Speaking of gear, everything you need is included in the price (boots, helmets, gloves, bibs), and guides will even swap you into warmer equipment if needed. Tours run around two to three hours, covering roughly seven miles through varied terrain. First-timers feel well-prepared after clear safety briefs and demonstrations. Even during lean snow years, they manage to find plenty of rideable powder up at Monarch Park. It's a well-loved local operation that creates memorable experiences for beginners and experienced riders alike.
We've been to 5+ different places throughout Colorado to snowmobile, but this was by far the most unique and exciting terrain we've ever been on! The cherry on top was the sweet smile from Tess when we walked in the door and then.......there was DUSTIN!!!! He is a gem and you are lucky to have such a great guy on your team! He made it such a memorable experience and really saved our butts in the deep snow when we got stuck. He was clear with his direction, very experienced, so incredibly patient, and had a great sense of humor! Thank you Monarch Snowmobile Tours for making my Husband's annual Birthday snowmobile trip one to remember! We will absolutely be back!
