Snowmobiling in the White River area is absolutely fabulous. It allows you to see more of the backcountry in a shorter amount of time. The White River Snowmobile Club marks and maintains 178 miles of trails in eastern Rio Blanco County. The club grooms 78 miles and leaves the rest as natural trails that can challenge even the best of riders.
Outfitters and trailheads for snowmobiling and horseback riding are located within minutes of your front door. Please email us at the_mills@comcast.net for our recommendations of guides and outfitters. |
