Our Story

Born on these trails

We didn’t find this area on a map, we grew up riding it. These trails, routes, and hidden spots have been part of our lives long before this turned into a business.

We started Sandbox Sleds to show people the side of Colorado most never get to see, the quiet routes, the best views, and the kind of rides locals actually take. We keep things laid back, move at the right pace, and make sure you feel confident out there.

After 15+ years and tens of thousands+ riders, these are still our favorite rides.

FAVORITE RIDE: THE RIDGE

why we love Colorado

The San Juan mountain range just has a way of pulling you in. It’s the mix of stunning rocky peaks and wide-open space that makes every ride feel a little different. One minute you’re taking in the views, the next you’re into a stretch that makes you want to keep going just a bit farther.

There’s no shortage of places to ride here, but the best ones aren’t always the most obvious. It’s the tucked-away routes, the quiet sections, and the views you don’t see from the road that make it special. That’s what keeps us coming back, and why we’re excited to share it with you.

We did a half day rental and it ended up being the highlight of our trip. The whole process was super easy from booking to check-in. They got us set up quickly, went over everything in a way that actually made sense, and didn’t rush us out the door. The machines were in great shape and easy to handle even for our group with mixed experience levels. Once we got out on the trails it just got better and better. Tons of different terrain and some really incredible views. Would 100% do this again.

Zara Bush

Booked a guided ride kind of last minute and didn’t really know what to expect, but it turned out awesome. Our guide was great, kept things relaxed but still made sure everyone knew what they were doing before we got going. The ride itself was way better than I expected, not just following some boring route. We got into some really scenic areas and stopped a few times for photos. You can tell they know the area well and actually care about the experience. Definitely recommend if you’re visiting.

Ashwin Santiago

Rented ATVs for the afternoon and had a great experience overall. Check-in was quick, paperwork was straightforward, and they walked us through everything before we headed out which helped a lot. We’ve rented in other places where you kind of just get handed the keys, but this felt much more organized. Trails were easy to follow with the map they gave us and there was a good mix of terrain. Everything ran perfectly and we never felt lost or unsure of what to do. Really solid setup and we’d come back next time we’re in the area.
