Durango, Colorado:
ORC staffers arrived to Durango, Colorado in
mid-July after many days of working the recent rock crawling events
held in the surrounding areas of Durango. And we were ready to get
away from work and get out on the trail ourselves.
And Get Out Adventures was the answer to our dilemna.
Having no previous trail experience in this particular area of the
nation, we relied on the crew from Get Out Adventures. We made our
plans and on a beautiful sunny day, we met with the owner of Get
Out Adventures, Jason Nelson, and his top guide, Fabio at the shop
in Durango, Colorado.
It wasn't long before we were saddled up and given
the pre-trip rundown by both Jason and Fabio. On this guided trip,
Jason, took charge and led the way on an awesome adventure. The Get
Out Adventures Hummer is the only way to travel in style. Complete
with refreshments and snacks, Jason and Fabio provide top-notch
service.
The Get Out Adventures Hummer is quite a machine and
Jason Nelson has set it up best for the terrain they operate in the
surrounding areas. The vehicle is well-maintained and was spotless
as we buckled into the comfortable riding off-road machine. And we
immediately noticed that Get Out Adventures run the famous rock
crawling championship tire, the BFGoodrich Krawler tire. Visit

We visited the history rich mining town of Silverton,
Colorado as we began our adventure into the 14,000 foot hight peaks
of Colorado. It wasn't long before the sunny skiies of Durango way
to the summer moonsoon rains of the high country. Get Out
Adventures provides a soft top that is completely rain proof and
easy to roll up in the case of inclement weather. Otherwise, the
opentop Hummer provides spectacular views of the high mountain
ridges and valleys.
The trail ranged from standard dirt road to just
plain rock crawling. However, both Fabio and Jason are trained
4-wheel driving experts and no terrain is too difficult for them.
ORC staffers rode along with Jason for nearly 9 hours and never
experienced a "iffy" moment at all. Put yourself into the best
off-road hands with Get Out Adventures.
The Hummer can take on the most
radical terrain any trail can offer and provide comfort. BFGoodrich
provides the best tires with the latest technology. |
Rock, Rain and Ruts...BFGoodrich and Get Out
Adventures conquer all!!! |
The Colorado backcountry was gorgeous. Get Out
Adventures guided us not only through the rough terrain of the
backcountry trails, but also through many old ghost towns that date
back to the 1800's. The mining industry brought many people to the
area and they lived in the high country all year round. Both Jason
and Fabio provide a ongoing guided tour of each and every
interesting aspect of the backcountry in the Durango, Colorado
area.
Get Out Adventures toured us from downtown Durango,
Colorado through the back country of Silverton and more. The
wildlife was abundant as we experienced deer, marmots, squirrels
and a variety of birds. If you're looking for an adventure from
extreme to serene, look no further and contact Jason Nelson at Get
Out Adventures for a great trail experience.
