In the heart of the Pando valley is Camp Hale, former training grounds of the 10th Mountain Division. We also offer rental cabins onsite, with extraordinary views and access to trails just steps out your front door. Our qualified, year-round guides are ready to give you the experience of a lifetime. Whether you are riding a snowmobile for the first time, enjoying the spectacular views from our heated and enclosed snowcoach, or charging through powder fields on a high performance snowmobile tour, our
professional guides are sure to provide a safe and extraordinary experience that you’ll never forget!

Even in 1940s Camp Hale, snowcats were essential to operations. Pictured here: members of the 10th mountain division marching behind a "weasel" snowcat vehicle.
