ALL TERRAIN PINZGAUER MOUNTAIN TOURS

Ride in an high-mobility, all-terrain military vehicle, also known as a Pinzgauer, to a private mountain world with rugged terrain, hidden lakes, and beautiful vistas. Your driver will chat about local lore and history as you Pinz up and down 10 miles of rugged trails, pass shear rock faces, and straight down the mountainside aptly named “Hades Hollow”. Part of the tour is a true white knuckle experience for passengers and driver alike.

Mid-way, you’ll break from all the off-road excitement for a short guided hike on “Bear Run” ending near “Rattlesnake Bluff”. At “Blue Lake” you’ll have a few moments to relax, have a snack and drink which are provided, take a few photos, and enjoy the breathtaking view. Fossil hunting is a favorite nearby!

This is a exclusive outing utilizing a very unique all-terrain vehicle over challenging and pristine wilderness!

F.A.Q.’s

Are the tours safe?
Yes, driver guides are trained and are experienced off road drivers.  Pinzgauer’s are equipped with seatbelts and roll bars.  They are designed as all-terrain high mobility vehicles.  Safety is our utmost priority! Is the off-road tour a bumpy experience? The tour travels through creeks, over boulders, and up/down steep inclines.  Be prepared to be jostled around a bit.

What should I Bring?
Pictures & video are encouraged so be sure to bring your cameras.  Water and a snack are provided but you are also welcome to bring your own.  Just remember anything you bring will be in your lap for the duration of the trip so pack light!  Binoculars may be helpful to use at the vistas.

What should I wear?
Dress for the weather, Pinzgauer’s are always open sided and depending on the weather, the top may be off to enhance your experience. Open toe shoes are not recommended!  Don’t forget your tour includes hikes over rocky terrain to breath taking views and natural features.

Are there any restrictions?
Persons with current or chronic neck/back injuries are discouraged as well as pregnancies and recent surgery.  All guests are required to wear/fasten a standard size lap seat belt. Tours are bumpy and travel along difficult terrain.

Do the tours run in the rain?

Are there bathrooms on the tour?
