- What kind of equipment do you rent?
We purchase only low mile well maintained or new machines. Our machines are regularly serviced by Twin Pines Motor Sports. We rent both single rider and 2 up machines. You can see our current selection of machines on the ATV Rates page.
- Do I have to trailer machines to the trailhead?
Yes, currently the City of Creede has decided to prevent ATV operation on any of the City streets. You can either rent a trailer from us to take the machines to the trailhead or we will deliver them for you at no charge.
- How old do I have to be to drive an ATV?
The state of Colorado requires that all renters and riders be "of age" to ride a rented ATV. This means that all drivers/renters must be 18 years old.
- Can I have a passenger on a 2up ATV?
2 up ATV machines are designed for two passengers and these are the only machines which may take a passenger.
- Do I have to be experienced to rent an ATV?
Because of the terrain, and remote area of the ATV areas we can only rent ATV's to experienced riders.
- What is a Spot Satellite Personal Tracker and what does it do?
SPOT is a small, portable, multi-function device that; acts as a satellite emergency locator, provides real-time location tracking over the web (using Google Earth) to friends and family members, and allows you to send one way SMS text (or email) messages in areas where you can't get cellular or internet access.
SPOT is the world's first emergency satellite messenger. The transmitter uses GPS technology to determine your location and communications satellites to transmit that information to chosen recipients. If you need assistance, just hit the "Ask For Help" button and a message containing your exact location is sent to your list of contacts. The best feature of all though is the "Alert 911" button which will route a distress message to local search & rescue with your exact GPS location!
This transmitter not only provides complete coverage for 911 services but will also allow for rapid retrieval of a machine should it become disabled during the rental.
- How long does it take to check out an ATV?
Most cases 15 – 30 minutes. Larger groups sometimes take a little longer. The more organized and prepared your group, the quicker we can get you on the trail.
- Are there any additional accessories needed with the ATV rental?
We provide a DOT approved helmet for all renters. You need to bring the appropriate riding clothes including shoes. Water, food, jacket, camera, gloves, sunscreen, sunglasses are all recommended.
- Is it important to make a reservation?
Reservations are always highly recommended. Even if we have a lot of availability a few days before always make a reservation. There are many times we book up a couple days out and if you just show up you may not get a machine. Do remember that a deposit is required for all reservations and is non-refundable.
- How far are the trailhead from your location?
The two primary (but certainly not the only) riding areas are off the bachelor loop and Wheel National Park. We are less than 1.5 miles from the bachelor loop and 5 miles from the Wheeler trailhead.
- Why should I rent from Creede ATV?
Three reasons. 1. Terrain. 2. Location. 3. Service and Experience. Creede has some of the most spectacular mountain trails in all of Colorado. There are many historic mining camps and ruins throughout the mountains which can only be seen from a off road vehicle. Our location at the entrance to the City of Creede places at a convenient location not only for access but access to the trail. We also have a variety of trailer choices to fit your needs. We not only are frequent users of the same trails you will be using but we have been in the tourist business in Mineral County for many years.
