Where History Rides Shotgun.

Climb into a rugged 4x4 and journey deep into the high country on this six-hour adventure to Cross Mountain, one of Union Park’s most iconic mesas. Along the way, you’ll trace the same trails once carved by hopeful gold miners in the 1800s and cattlemen in the early 1900s — all while surrounded by panoramic views that will stop you in your tracks.

Highlights Include:

• Stunning 360° views from the summit of Cross Mountain, overlooking Union Park and the Taylor River basin.
• Ruins of old mining cabins tucked into the wilderness — eerie, beautiful, and frozen in time.
• Rich storytelling about the Civil War-era origins of Union Park, named by Union sympathizers to counter the nearby Confederate stronghold of “Virginia City” (now Tin Cup).
• Geological marvels and a mesa that marks the southern boundary of the valley — completely distinct from the Cross Mountain of Moffat County.
• Local legends, including summit crosses whose origins are as mysterious as they are moving.

This tour is more than a ride — it’s a deep dive into Colorado’s rugged past and wild beauty. Whether you're a history buff, an off-road junkie, or just chasing killer views, Cross Mountain delivers.

History. Scenery. Adventure. All in One Ride.

Travel back in time and deep into Colorado’s backcountry on this unforgettable Jeep tour to the legendary Crystal Mill, one of the most photographed and iconic structures in the Rockies. But this experience is about so much more than a single destination — it’s a journey through centuries of history, natural beauty, and rugged wilderness.

Your Adventure Includes:

Confluence of Rivers & Fort Uncompahgre
We begin in Montrose and cruise through the scenic river valleys of Delta, where the Gunnison and Uncompahgre Rivers converge. Along the way, you’ll pass by Fort Uncompahgre, a reconstructed trading post originally established in 1828 by fur trader Antoine Robidoux. This was one of the very first Anglo settlements on Colorado’s Western Slope — a place where trappers, traders, and Native American tribes met to exchange goods and stories.

McClure Pass: Ancient Pathways & Frontier Routes
Next, we ascend McClure Pass, a breathtaking route through the Elk Mountains once traveled by the Ute people and later homesteaders and miners seeking fortune and freedom. You’ll hear stories of Thomas “Mack” McClure, whose remote stage stop at the eastern base of the pass offered shelter, supplies, and a warm meal to weary 19th-century travelers. Today, it’s a window into Colorado’s early roadways and the grit it took to cross them.

Marble & the Jeep Road to Crystal
From the quiet town of Marble, known for its pure white stone used in monuments like the Lincoln Memorial, we’ll switch to rugged terrain as we navigate the old Jeep road to Crystal. This route, once carved by miners and mules, offers sweeping alpine views, towering cliffs, and moments where it feels like the modern world disappears behind you.

The Crystal Mill: A Living Relic of the Mining Era
Finally, you’ll arrive at the Crystal Mill, perched dramatically above the rushing Crystal River. Built in 1893, the mill once powered mining operations deep in the mountains using a water-driven air compressor system — an engineering marvel of its time.

Off the Beaten Path. Into the Heart of History and Beauty.

Leave the pavement (and the crowds) behind as we guide you along Dave Wood Road, crossing the wild and scenic Uncompahgre Plateau — a land shaped by time, tradition, and untamed nature. This tour is a slow-sweeping adventure through high country forests, open parks, and historic trails once used by native tribes, early explorers, and frontier settlers.

Tour Highlights:

• Travel across the southern end of the Uncompahgre Plateau, home to thousands of years of human history — from ancient Paleo-Indian hunters to the Ute people who called this land home for centuries.
• Learn the meaning behind “Uncompahgre” — a Ute word often translated as “dirty water” or “red water springs,” tied to the plateau’s mineral-rich soil and geothermal history.
• Explore Sanborn Park, a quiet and lesser-known gem of rolling meadows, thick stands of aspen, and abundant wildlife habitat.
• Descend through the backdoor of the stunning Dallas Divide, once a toll road route, where the San Juan Mountains rise in full, majestic view.
• As the sun sets, soak in the glowing alpine light, spot elk, deer, turkeys — maybe even a black bear — and enjoy the quiet beauty of Colorado at its most peaceful.

This tour is perfect for sunset seekers, nature lovers, history buffs, and anyone craving a quieter kind of beauty — the kind that doesn’t come with a parking lot.

Come discover why sometimes the best way forward is down The Road Less Traveled.
