Death Valley information update:

Rental season is Labor Day through Memorial Day as the summer months are too hot, which we see as a safety issue that we are not prepared for.

We have had a wonderful first season and look forward to returning in the Fall.

Reservations will be taken for next season by phone or online.

During the summer, phones are forwarded to one of our other locations.

All of our other Farabee locations are open during the summer months.

Long_CanyonTrail Ratings

A note on all Colorado trails: most Colorado trails have sections where there are steep drop offs next to the trail, and there are no guard rails. Even Colorado highways can be alarming short of guard rails if you are used to flatland driving. If you have a severe fear of heights, you may find even our easy trails to be uncomfortable.

Easy: Can be done by the novice. Many sections may not require 4WD in good conditions. Roads are unpaved, infrequently maintained and are likely to have moderate grades, potholes, ruts, and edges with no guard rails.

Moderate: Can be done by the novice. Most people will find these trails to be a fun adventure with some steep climbs, narrow ledge roads (plenty wide for one Jeep, but not wide enough to pass in many places), some rocks that require slow & careful ascent, and occassional soft sand. The key is to take your time, go slow, and pay attention.

Adventurous: Experience helpful, but not required. Inexperienced 4-wheelers may find the obstacles and ledges intimidating, and damage to vehicle is possible, unless extreme caution, careful throttle control and precise wheel placement is exercised.

Difficult: Experienced 4-wheelers only. Solo travel not recommended. Vehicle damage possible, even with slow ascent and careful wheel placement. Tippy sections, rocks and ledges 16” and higher, deep sand, slippery hills, commonly impassable
due to wash outs or rock slides.
