Action Tour

The Heeney Outpost Action Snowmobile Tour is a faster paced ride than the Heeney Scenic Tour. Both of these tours take you up the mountain, rewarding you with expansive views that you only get with an elevated overlook. On a clear day, you can see over 40 miles and look over the top of the Continental Divide at Rocky Mountain National Park and north to Rabbit Ears Pass. If it’s really clear, you can see mountains over 70 miles away!

First, you will receive instruction on how to operate the snowmobile at the beginning of the tour. Next, you will head out onto the the trail that takes you up the mountain.

During your tour, your guide will stop you at great places to take pictures and at the Cocoa Cabin so you can warm up, sipping hot chocolate while overlooking the Eagles Nest Wilderness. Also, let your guide know if you want to open up the throttle on the 3/4 mile long track. You can also let your kids ride the kiddie snowmobiles at this stop.

MOUNTAIN TOP ACTION TOUR

The Mountain Top Action Snowmobile Tour at the Birdseye Outpost is the great choice if you want to look across the Mountain Tops from an elevation over 12,000 feet above sea level. With many of these trails being above treeline, drifting snow can change the trail very quickly. Your guide will show you how to use your body to balance the snowmobile where the trail is not flat. Most people who love adventure rave about how much fun this tour is; we even have many first time snowmobilers take this tour and have a great time! Previous experience with atvs and dirt bikes really helps.

On a clear day, you can see up to 14 of the tallest mountains in the Rockies including Mt. Elbert the Tallest! Make sure you ask your guide to stop at the Cocoa Hut to enjoy some free hot chocolate and let the kids ride the kiddie snowmobiles if you want to — this often gets skipped unless requested to your guide.

Please know that you control your snowmobile! If you have any concerns, you may stop your snowmobile at any time and your guide will happily come to help you.

Breckenridge, Colorado Snowmobile Tours

BEGINNER/FAMILY TOURS

 

If you have kids or riders without experience, be sure to check out the Family/Beginner tours.  For these tours, we have snowmobiles available that can carry one or two passengers. There’s also a ¾ of a mile long oval open space where beginners can sharpen their riding chops,  plus we allow kids under 70 pounds to run around on our kiddie snowmobiles. There’s no age requirement on these machines, so if they can control, they can zoom around to their absolute delight!

Still need more? There’s a 1,050 foot long tubing hill that you can add as an option. Your guide will tow you up the hill behind their machine and then you and your party can zip back down. It’s an absolute blast!

ADVANCED TOURS

If you’re the type of person who feels a need for speed, take a look at our Advanced Tours. These tours focus on the thrill of plowing fresh powder, blasting up hills, and getting that adrenaline rush. The adventure of a lifetime is just a phone call away…book your tour now with Breckenridge Snowmobile Tours & Rentals!

LEADVILLE MINING DISTRICT

This district was once the most productive silver mining area in the state.  Historically, it produced over 240 million troy ounces of silver, three million troy ounces of gold, 987 million tonnes of lead, 712 million tonnes of zinc, and 48 tonnes of copper.

Along the way, you’ll also experience breathtaking views and photo opportunities of the Sawatch Mountain Range, the Collegiate Peaks (Named after Ivy League Schools).  The three tallest mountains in the Rockies will be visible: Mount Elbert, Mount Massive and Mount Harvard as well as many other peaks that tower over 14,000 feet of elevation.

Interested in ghost towns?  The tour will make a stop in Oro City in California Gulch.  This town, settled during the Pike’s Peak gold rush, was the site of one of the richest placer (mining of alluvial deposits) gold strikes in Colorado’s history.   The city reached a peak population of over ten thousand people in July of 1860 and produced an estimated 150,000 troy ounces of gold.  The population dwindled rapidly once the mining rush was over, leaving only about 200 people only thirty years later.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

If I could give 6 points I would! This was a first time on snowmobiles for my wife and me and we took the "Mountain Top Action Tour" which was higher paced. The snowmobiles were in excellent condition and the guide (Spencer) did a great job estimating our level of comfort on the machines. We started easy and during the 3-hour trip he increased the pace to the level that…read more

Amazing adventure - we were wide open! Took a mountain top action tour today with William - it's hard to impress two 16 year old boys but this was over the top. Breathtaking scenery, "off road advanced add-on where William took us to places we couldn't possibly get on our own", wide open space and wide open throttles! We recommend that specific tour with William highly! Trip Advisor Review

Great mountain top adventure We booked the Mountain Top Action tour and chose the action tour since we were all adults and wanted to go above the tree line. We chose the more expensive snowmobile (only $10 more). We requested to be picked up since we were staying in Breckenridge and didn't know the area. Trevor picked us up in the company van and took us on the very scenic…read more

Birdseye Outpost Mountain Action Tour This is our second experience with High Country Tours. We met our guide William at the Birdseye Outpost near Leadville. William is a very personable guide with a wealth of information about the area. We had a wonderful, scenic and exciting two hour tour. High County has a great selection of snowmobiles. My wife and I had a great trip. We will be back! Trip…read more

As good as it gets! Took a few snowmobiling tours while in Breckenridge for Spring Break. This was by far our favorite as far as value and experience. But then you throw in the "Extreme" tubing that was included (with Spencer) and it just went over the top! Can't wait to do it again with Tim and his team...thanks for an awesome last day adventure!!

Snowmobile Mountain Top Tour Went on a tour with my buddies. We took the Mountain Top Tour out of the Birdseye Outpost. We were worried about the warm weather, but there was nothing to worry about. Tour was awesome! Machines were great, and William our guide was phenomenal. Great information, great pace. Our whole group had a blast. There were 8 of us and William made sure to keep everyone…read more

Nice Adventure off the beaten path We had a great time snowmobiling. It had some awesome scenic views and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The safety session before the ride was informative but did make us a little nervous as you would be responsible for any damages. I would think that their insurance should cover it. There were no instances of anybody wrecking on our trip and…read more
