Outside Telluride’s steep cutlines and sage-dotted benches, the Cliffhanger Jeep Rental’s 4‑door Cliffhanger Jeep puts you in a vehicle built for the backcountry: the newest, most capable Rubicons configured for five passengers and engineered to carry you deeper and farther on four-wheel trails designed for discovery and raw scenery.

THE VEHICLE

Modified Jeep Rubicon, ready for the rocks

These 4‑door Rubicons are modified for off-road reliability and comfort: they accommodate five people and come with front and rear lockers, automatic transmission, air conditioning, freedom top/hard top options, 33x11.50 all‑terrain tires, and extra cargo room.

THE TRAILS

Backcountry trail riding around Telluride

Novice jeepers and seasoned four‑wheel enthusiasts alike will find trails suited to exploration—breathtaking backcountry routes that reveal the region’s more remote vantage points and the kinds of unexpected turns that make a full day in a Jeep memorable.

THE COMFORT

A full day with creature comforts

The fleet balances capability with creature comforts—air conditioning, ample cargo room and modern features—so the day’s focus stays on the trail, the views and the driving rather than on the equipment.

What the day feels like
