Where to ride/rent closest to Denver?

[Cowbell]

I'm going to be coming out to Denver sometime in early March and was wondering where the closest spot is from Denver to rent sleds a ride. Me and a buddy are coming up and want to rent sleds for a day and go riding... I did a little search on here but only found riding areas. Thanks!

The closest place to Denver is corona pass (only about 15 min closer than Vail Pass), Grand adventures rents sleds there, guided or unguided.

I find Corona pass to be a MUCH more visually stunning & more of a wilderness experience than Vail pass & you spend less time on I-70. Some of the lookout points on corona pass are just amazing, the back side is unreal steep. There's less of a trail system, but it's a much cooler area.

Vail pass has the ability to ride to a bar, so if you're from WI or IA, that may be the main priority....

Give Extreme Rentals a call, they're at 6th and Sheridan in Lakewood. They rent M6/M8/2-up's and have trailers & gear if you need it. Far cheaper than renting at the mountain, at the expense of having to tow the sleds there. On the other hand, you can go anywhere you want....
