White River National Forest, CO

People from all over want to visit Vail, Colorado—and for good reason. As North America’s largest mountain range, the Rocky Mountains provide incredible peaks that seem made for snowmobiles. In Vail, there are hundreds of epic trails for snowmobilers at every skill level to experience.

If you’re an experienced rider, you can rent a snowmobile and venture off on your own, or you can join a guided tour led by local experts who know all the best snowscapes. For those looking to maximize their winter, the expert team at Nova Guides can hook you up with both rentals and guided tours to the top of the Rockies.
