THE VEHICLES

Hand‑built Classics and Rugged Icons

The tour features authentic classic cars — including a Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 (replica), a Volkswagen T1 “Mango” Bus, and an AMC Jeep CJ7 V8 (1981) — delivering distinct driving characters. Vehicle choice depends on availability and group size, and larger groups may be coordinated across multiple vehicles.

THE ROUTE

Logan Canyon: Alpine Curves and Panoramic Views

The drive threads Logan Canyon’s cliffs, alpine forest and winding roads, offering continual views and a classic‑car rhythm that emphasizes the road as much as the destination.

THE DESTINATION

Bear Lake — Turquoise Water and a Quiet Pause

The itinerary culminates at Bear Lake, famed locally as the “Caribbean of the Rockies,” where the group slows for photos and a signature snack break before a more reflective return through the canyon.

What the day feels like

What the Drive Feels Like

You meet at the Crazy for Life headquarters for a brief introduction, then depart in a personally guided classic car up Logan Canyon. The ascent alternates between tight turns and open viewpoints; the lakeside stop at Bear Lake is deliberately unhurried — a chance to step out, shoot photos and share the included signature lunch box and soft drinks — before a calmer, clearer return through the canyon.
