CAN THE JEEPS/VEHICLES GO OFF-ROAD?
Our jeeps are permitted to travel off of the asphalt roads on many of the maintained gravel roads found in our area. We do NOT allow for our jeeps to travel on any hardcore 4x4 trails where you could get lost, stuck, or mechanically broken. There are a number of local National forest roads etc. that you can take our jeeps on to get off the beaten path and experience the wonderful Montana outdoors. Should you choose to go on any of these roads less traveled you will be responsible for any and all damage or recovery costs that may occur.

DO YOU HAVE HARD TOPS OR SOFT TOPS?
Typically most of our jeeps have side rider soft tops in the summer months. These tops can be opened and closed with ease so you can enjoy the outdoors when the weather is great and can be closed should the weather gets bad or you would like to have the jeep closed in.
If you have preference on what type of top we would ask that you make the request prior to your arrival.
These requests are not guaranteed.
