Looking for the perfect Rocky Mountain snowmobile destina-

tion? Rio Grande County in Southwestern Colorado has you cov-

ered... in POWDER and fun! A microclimate funnels storms onto

Wolf Creek Pass from the south and west. The result? More days

with fresh powder than elsewhere in Colorado. Rio Grande Nation-

al Forest maintains 10 snowmobile trails with over 255 miles of

groomed trails. Or, venture off the beaten path and head into the

backcountry! After a fun day in the snow, enjoy the friendly, small-

town atmosphere of local restaurants and lodges. Here you won’t

find crowds of people or streets lined with spendy boutiques. Just

laid back fun, relaxed folks, and a genuine Colorado experience.
