About Jeep Rentals with Backbone Adventures

THE RUBICON EXPERIENCE

This is not a basic rental car Jeep and it is not a guided tour. Our Rubicons are lifted, trail-ready Jeep Wranglers designed for real Rocky Mountain terrain. You can cruise scenic backroads, tackle more adventurous routes, stop for photos whenever you want, and create your own experience instead of following a tour guide.

We will help match you with a trail that fits your comfort level and goals. Then the adventure is yours. Along the way, you can experience mountain views, alpine terrain, wildlife habitat, and the kind of freedom that makes Jeeping in Estes Park so memorable.
