Absolutely amazing tour. The jeep was amazing new equipment. The trail was fantastic. Scenic views a great morning with excellent tour guide.

This trip genuinely exceeded my expectations. This is a real off-road experience where YOU do the driving. It was fun and exciting, but I never felt unsafe. So glad I tagged this in to my trip to Denver.

What an experience! 4 jeeps in tandem & everyone spent a lot of time behind the wheel. Best experience in CO for sure. Branden, is so knowledgeable with the area. The entire team are amazing. Highly recommend.

Excellent off-roading (not gravel) with us driving! Brandon was excellent in calmly coaching drivers via Walkie talkie through the more challenging sections. Will definitely do again!

My husband and I went in the Saxon Mountain full day tour with Native Jeep Tours and had a great time. We are familiar with off road driving with my husband growing up driving anything he could off road, so we were a bit hesitant that this would be one those boring so-called off road tours. But it was not like that at all. Brandon had great commentary throughout the tour via a radio that gave us some good history and comedy. The trail itself was mostly rocky trail with some more difficult maneuvers to tackle. It was a good combination of beautiful scenery, history, and off road challenges. Alma was also on the tour with us taking some pictures and doing some of the driving in the lead jeep. This is a small Mom and Pop business that we are so glad we were able to support. They offer different trails for different levels of difficulty. Go ahead and book a tour with them, you will be happy you did! We agreed it was the highlight of our vacation!

Our family of 7 people rented 2 jeeps, and we had a blast on our tour with the owner, Brandon. Great tour guide, great stories, super fun on the trails. So cool to see what the Jeeps were capable of. Of all the fun things we did in Denver area (and we did several), this was the best. Highly highly recommended!!!

With low-moderate experience 4 wheeling, we booked this trip. It absolutely overdelivered!!! Brandon and Alma’s experience, knowledge, stories, guidance, and paparazzi of our trip made it the highlight of our week in Denver. We took a route for myself which was more difficult and technical and my daughter with less experience - finished the drive back - perfect compilation for the day of fun. I was VERY IMPRESSED. You will LOVE this trip. 12/10 recommend

Wow not sure where to start. This was my favorite excursion I’ve ever done - hands down ! Our guide Brandon was knowledgeable, patient and funny as hell. We did the 1/2 day and it was worth every penny. We start by pulling off the road and begin the trek to the top of the mountain. During the trek we crossed several types of terrain which Brandon would inform us what to switch to 4wH or 4wL , as well as teaching us how to drive over the boulders and keep from getting stuck. All the while sharing stories and answering our questions through a handheld radio. We eventually got to the top of the mountain with an amazing view of St Mary’s glacier across from us. To top it off we passed an elk on the way back down. I wld rate this trip higher than 5 stars if I could. Do not hesitate you will not be disappointed!

We had a great time being able to maneuver the rough terrain portion of the tour, with the guidance (using a handheld radio / walkie talkie) of Brandon, our tour guide. Brandon was in his own Jeep ahead of us. There are several tour levels of difficulties you can select from easy/moderate, intermediate, to advance levels. We had spectacular view of the snow capped mountains and the lake was beautiful. I highly recommend this tour; and actually already have recommended this tour to my sister and her family. Thank you Brandon for providing my family with a memorable 4th of July!

Took the time to explain Four-Wheel Drive System (4×4) and the difference between AWD, 4x4, and the 4x4 system of the Jeep. The correct way to use these systems and the correct way to prepare for your trip. Great experience and fun trails.
