We recently arranged for a jeep trip to Corkscrew Gulch. Also went to Hurricane and California Passes. Scenery was spectacular! Our driver shared a lot of history of the area, and we had a terrific time all in all. I was a little nervous since this was my first experience doing anything like this, but Don, our driver, was very... more

I visit Ouray every year and have made SOA an essentail part of each trip. You cannot experience the true essence of the Ouray wtihout taking the offroad trails into the mountains.

We were trying to cram so many things into our weeklong trip, we didn't know if we wanted to invest half of a day on a jeep tour. Well, we were both very glad that we decided to do the four hour journey through Yankee Boy Basin. We were fortunate enough to have the owner, Bob, as our personal tour... more

I'd always wanted to go down the Black Bear Road, ever since I heard the song about 30 years ago. Since it's not something a novice driver should *ever* do (or is even allowed to do with a rented Jeep), the only way is by guided tour. After asking around, we decided to go with SoA. To say that the... more
