Darrell,
Many thanks for the chance to experience your rental operation and crew. The crew was extremely knowledgeable and friendly working with some of our “rookie” drivers. I must say the equipment was the most reasonably priced, newest and cleanest, I have ever used. My 85-year-old mother “MARY DEE” had a blast. You sent us up through Tincup and up to Mirror Lake. What a majestic drive and our photos reflect it. Our entire group is still talking about it today. The RZR was a blast. Anyone a little nervous about a young rider holding on or taking an elderly rider along can rest at ease that this is the way to go. My mom said she has not had this much fun in over 20 years. We used one of every unit and we traded drivers to experience them all. Great time had by all. The surrounding territory was breathtaking and unspoiled. I must say, if you come to this area and do not experience this first hand, you missed one of the most enjoyable adventures the mountains have to offer.

Thanks again for an AWESOME day! We had the best time out there on the snowmobiles, and I still smile thinking about it. I haven’t been on a sled in 10 years but it was really comfortable and easy to ride your top of the line sleds. They were great on the trail even early when it was cold with the seat and hand warmers. Having a sled that was powerful enough to handle the powder topped off the trip. I will definitely suggest your rentals to anyone I know coming to the area!
See you next time.

Hi Darrell,
We did have a great day snowmobiling last weekend. I brought my snowmobile and rented one of your 600 RMKs for my daughter. We grew up in Montana with lots of powder and this brought back good memories as we made some more good ones. The RMK ran great and handled the powder amazingly well. You guys went out of your way to make sure we were familiar with the sled and the new invention called the SnoJack. Wow, what a great idea. I wish I would have thought of that. And we did get to use it a couple of times. My daughter loved the sled and thoroughly enjoyed our time together as well. Also, thanks for the help when we got stuck and you happened by.

I will definitely recommend you to friends and others, as I am a referring travel agent and am always looking for reputable companies to recommend. We will be back and rent again.

Colorado Adventure Rentals is the best company to rent ATVs from in Colorado, and I ought to know. I have been renting and riding ATVs in Colorado for several years now, and the level of service and equipment that Colorado Adventure Rentals provides is unmatched. On top of that, their rental locations provide direct access to some of the premier off-road trails in Colorado, including the famous Alpine Loop and Taylor Park. And their Lake City ATVs are licensed so that the complete Alpine Loop can be ridden without the need for any trailering. So if you want to try something different for a change of pace in the mountains, give Colorado Adventure Rentals a try. I don’t think you will be disappointed!

Repeat customer - year after year

We enjoyed a great day and saw lots of beautiful country and rough roads on Italian Creek road and Flag Mountain. Your staff at Taylor Park were great.

The vehicle ran great and we hope to rent again. We would recommend Colorado Adventure Rentals to others.
