Switzerland of America Jeeps

About

Switzerland of America Jeeps is a guided 4x4 tour and rental operator located in Ouray, Colorado, rather than a specific hiking trail. The business has operated since 1962 from a building on 7th Avenue in Ouray. It offers guided scenic tours and Jeep rentals for exploring the San Juan Mountains. Tours typically visit high mountain passes including Yankee Boy, Imogene Pass, Black Bear Pass, Engineer Pass, and Corkscrew. The company highlights views of ghost towns, mining history, waterfalls, and wildlife such as bighorn sheep, black bear, marmots, and white-tailed deer. Guided tours run from May through October. Half-day tours depart at 8:30 AM during the shoulder seasons (May, June, September, October) and at 8:00 AM in July and August. All-day tours depart at 8:00 AM. A minimum of four guests is usually required to complete a guided itinerary. The operator holds USFS and BLM permits.
