This is a purpose-built trail rental: two-seat sleds staged on the operator’s property give you immediate access to Island Park’s groomed routes, no trailer required. Drift Rentals outfits machines for daytime trail riding, making this a pared-down way to stack miles on powder-silent high-country trails without a logistical headache.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Trail access straight from the property

Rentals depart from the operator’s lot and put you directly onto maintained trails—no trailer or shuttle needed, so your ride begins and ends at the same place.

THE RIDE

Two-up trail machines built for comfort

The fleet seats two and comes with heated grips and tunnel bags for stowing layers and essentials, keeping passengers warmer and gear drier on long trail runs.

OPTIONAL GEAR

Add-on backcountry safety and cold-weather rentals

Cold-weather apparel can be rented for an extra fee, and for those venturing further there’s an optional backcountry pack—avalanche airbag, radio, probe and beacon—available for an additional charge.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

It’s a compact, trail-focused rental: arrive for a daytime checkout, climb into a two-seat sled, and point down a network of groomed trails that begin at the property. The simplicity of direct trail access means more time riding and less time fussing with trailers or transfers.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits—and who should plan differently.

1
Active CouplesIdeal: two-up seating makes this a natural choice for couples who want to share the ride on maintained trails.
2
Independent RidersSolo riders can operate a machine provided they meet the operator’s age and licensing requirements to be the driver.
3
Families with KidsPassengers of any age are permitted, so families can bring children as passengers while an eligible driver operates the sled.
4
Young Operators & RentersNote the distinction: renters must be 18 or older to rent, while operators can be as young as 16 if they hold a valid driver’s license—plan around these limits.
