Summer Experiences

 

Sunset Dinners with Blazing Adventures

Supper the way nature intended it beneath the stars with family and friends. Start your evening climbing Snowmass Mountain in our four wheel drive jeeps as we make our way to the Burlingame Cabin. This historic sheep herder’s cabin tucked in the aspens is the perfect place to sit back and unwind. Take an extended Jeep tour to a scenic overlook, try your hand at calf roping, toss some horseshoes, or just relax and enjoy a cold beverage around the campfire before your guides ring the dinner bell. As the sun sets behind Mt. Daly and the glow of the campfire lights up the surrounding woods, you will be entertained by live music while you roast S’mores. This is more than a meal. This is an experience.
