Local tip

35mm is the sensible minimum for anything past the Emerald Circuit. 'Impassable when wet' is literal here: Routt County clay packs a frame solid, so ride pavement the morning after rain. These are working ranch roads, so single file past stock, shut every gate you open, and wave at the trucks.

Your base for all of it.

Escape Chalet sits in the mountain district at the base of Mount Werner, a flat ten-minute walk from the gondola, with the free Green Line bus stopping 50 feet from the door.

  • Four ensuite bedrooms, sleeps 10, so nobody shares a bathroom after a long day out
  • A 10-person hot tub, open year round and held at 102F
  • Chef's kitchen with a 36-inch Wolf range, and a dining table that seats 8 with 3 more at the bar
  • Heated garage for two cars, with an EV charger and boot dryers
  • Up to two dogs, free when you book direct, with the Pup Package included
