ATV and UTV Rentals in Ouray
Side-by-side UTVs are the most popular rental choice for groups — they seat 2–4 passengers, offer roll cages and seatbelts, and can traverse the same 4x4 roads as a full-size Jeep. ATVs are available for solo riders or smaller groups.
Rental rates typically include a safety briefing, helmet, and trail map. Insurance and a valid driver's license are required, and most operators ask for a major credit card hold.
Where to Ride ATVs Near Ouray
The same trail network that attracts Jeep enthusiasts works perfectly for UTVs — the Alpine Loop, Yankee Boy Basin road, and Corkscrew Road are all ATV-legal county routes. Check with the rental shop for any current restrictions.
Riding at altitude means your engine is slightly down on power — account for this on steep climbs, especially fully loaded. Carry the operator's emergency number when heading into the backcountry.
Gear Up and Go from The Lumberyard
ATV rental shops are within a short drive of The Lumberyard Condos. Load up in the morning and cover more backcountry ground in a day than most hikers see in a week.
