About us
About Native Jeeps
At Native Jeeps, we specialize in guided YOU-Drive Jeep tours through the Colorado mountains near Black Hawk, Denver, Idaho Springs, and Vail.
Unlike traditional ride-along tours, you’ll drive a fully built Jeep Wrangler Rubicon yourself while our experienced guides lead the way through scenic backcountry trails, historic mining roads, alpine forests, rocky mountain terrain, and breathtaking Colorado landscapes.
Whether it’s your first time off-roading or you already own a Jeep at home, our goal is simple: create an unforgettable adventure while teaching responsible off-road driving in some of Colorado’s most beautiful and rugged terrain.
YOU Drive. We Guide.
At Native Jeeps, you’re not just a passenger riding down a dirt road.
You’re behind the wheel.
Every tour begins with a detailed driver orientation to make sure you feel comfortable and confident before heading onto the trail. From there, our guides lead you deep into Colorado’s backcountry using real off-road trails designed around your group’s experience level and goals.
Some guests want scenic mountain views and easy cruising. Others want technical obstacles, rocky climbs, water crossings, or a more advanced off-road experience. We customize every adventure to create the experience you’re looking for.
Along the way, guests learn:
- Basic off-road driving techniques
- Trail safety and etiquette
- Responsible recreation practices
- Colorado mining and mountain history
- How to confidently navigate mountain terrain
Built by Real Colorado Jeepers

We believe off-roading should be both exciting and responsible. Protecting the trails we explore is just as important as the adventure itself. Our team works hard to promote responsible recreation and preserve these incredible landscapes for future generations.
Our mission is simple:
Show guests what a real day in the life of a Colorado Jeeper feels like.
