    We booked a 3 hour tour and had a great time. Sarah was an amazing tour guide. My son decided he wanted to fall off the snowmobile, and Sarah ensured he was ok and helped him get back on the "horse". Overall we had a great experience and highly recommend booking with Backcountry.

    We planned a family trip with my brother's family to ski in Park City, but my niece blew out her leg. Sis-in-law looked for activities she could do and came up with snowmobiling. Sounds fun, we're in - we had a blast! New Year's Day 2025, took the drive out here for a 4 o'clock start to a 2-hour tour. Gage and Ben were excellent instructors / guides with great knowledge of the area, kept us entertained with their stories. They tailored our experience, which was much appreciated. Some wanted to go fast, others wanted to see the beautiful terrain & we got both. Highly recommend

    We had such an amazing ride. I would highly recommend them. They were so accommodating for us. Make sure that you have a confirmed ride back to town as uber/lyft will not do it.

    10/10! Couldn't have had a better experience! Pricing was great and since we went on a slower day it was just us and our guide. The views are MAGNIFICENT and I've never seen such beautiful mountains and snow. For a great time, book here!! You won't regret it!

    Lots of fun and a beautiful trail! Got to go through some beautiful sections in the woods that took us to a great open space to have some fun before heading back down.

    Had a fantastic time with Backcountry. Plenty of gear, helmets, etc. in all sizes. Took time to explain safety and operation of snowmobiles. Great tour path. Saw some moose during the ride.

    We had the best time here! Gage was our guide and we got to be the only group he took out for the tour. He took great care of us taking us to cool scenic spots, pointing out animals and mountains and state lines. It was one of the best activities we've done in a long time and we're so grateful! If you're thinking about doing this on your Utah trip we can't recommend it enough. Thank you Gage for the incredible tour and day!

    We did the 2 hour tour with Backcountry Snowmobiling last week and had the BEST TIME! Truly one of the best experiences we've ever had. We were lucky enough to get Gage as our guide and he was awesome! He was so friendly and made our group feel comfortable right away. He also made sure to take photos of us and to take us to a few of his personal favorite spots. The equipment was in great shape and very easy to use, and all of the staff was very friendly and helpful. They advised us on whether or not they thought we would be too cold or uncomfortable in certain gear that we had, and had gloves, jackets, boots, etc available to rent which helped a ton. We were all very comfortable and warm throughout the tour. The dogs/puppies playing around upon arrival was an added bonus. Our only regret was not doing the 3 hour tour!! Thanks Gage and Backcountry! We will be back!

    Our snowmobiling excursion was absolutely AMAZING! Sarah is an incredible guide that adapted to mine and my buddy's skill levels. She is the coolest! We will definitely ask for Sarah when we go back here. At only a one hour drive from Park City, BackCountry is the best snowmobiling experience in the Park City and Salt Lake City area. The trails are great and the meadow freestyling was the bomb! Thanks, Sarah!!! (And after working up an appetite, on your way back thru the sleepy town of Coalville, stop in and see Annie and her husband at Annie B's Pizzeria -- excellent pizza pie made from scratch using a recipe from back east of n NY.)

    Great place for both beautiful vistas and to learn how to snowmobile. Be sure to ask for Gage as your tour guide!

    We live in Arizona and my wife is an amateur rockhound which means we cannot go more than a mile on…read moreback country roads without stopping lol. I found this site and purchased a 4 hour dig package as a surprise for her and to say it was a hit would be an understatement, The purchase was easy, and they kept us updated on the upcoming dig with emails and additional information which was great. We stayed in Kemmerer which is close by and the driving instructions to the site were easy to read and got us there with no issues. Once off the paved highway there is a bit of a drive to the dig site, and it is on dirt roads. It is also through open range so free grazing cattle and sheep can be near and, on the road, so be careful. Go slow... they will give you the stink eye for making them move but they do move. Once at the dig site there is plenty of parking and check in was easy. The staff was wonderful and very informative. While I opted to stay in the car and read a book, I could see the dig site and watch my wife who was like a kid in a candy store. She found many fish fossils and the staff were always wondering about the site to offer advice and help. Based on a previous review we brought plenty of bubble wrap and a container to put here treasures in. So, thank you to Janet the author of the post

    Such an awesome adventure, we came away with 175#s of fossils after 6.5 hours of splitting rock…read more The drive: even with extensive instructions, it's easy to miss the turnoff. Follow the instructions provided by the quarry, they help a lot. There is a very long dirt road, parts of it have some washboarding. 8 miles maybe between the pavement and the quarry. We made it just fine in a rented sports-ute, but I wouldn't want to try it a low slung passenger car. The drive will reveal some astonishingly beautiful scenery across seemingly untouched hills and valleys. We saw a herd of pronghorn grazing right by the road. Also, there are cows roaming around on the road. Neither want anything to do with your vehicle but will stop and pose for photos through your car window. Driving down into the quarry is sort of exciting as it is a fairly steep grade on a narrow dirt path with no small amount of water erosion. The quarry: listen to what the staff say, they will give an intro of what you are looking at, how to use the supplied hammer and chisel safely, where not to wander off to, and how to split the rocks maximizing the material. They will also give you instructions on how to use the tile saws if you ask. They will also trim down larger pieces in the field using a portable saw if you ask. They are also well versed in the fossils you find, with all sorts of interesting tidbits of knowledge to share about what this environment was like ~52M years ago. Pretty friendly bunch out of the gate except for one young gal who initially comes off a bit standoffish but once you chat with her a bit more, you realize she's just a gal with a big town heart living in a small town. The day: we got lucky with weather in the high 70s with a nice breeze but even then, it's hot because the quarry is in the full sun. Wear a hat, sunscreen, loose fitting long sleeves and pants. The people we saw suffering around us were wearing shorts and tank tops, the sun and grit got to them quickly. Water and gatorade are available to purchase at the quarry but that's all the amenities to expect outside of the (clean!) porta-potties. The drive is entirely too long and slow to go back and forth between quarry and town so pack a picnic lunch if you're staying the day. As mentioned, we found (and toted home!) 175#s of fossils, mostly Knightia, a few Cockerellites, a truly epic number of coprolites of all sizes, a gar scale and a palm leaf which turned out to have a fossilized insect on one frond. Almost every split we made turned up a fossil, at the end of the day you have accumulated so much that you can be picky about what you take home. Bring boxes and bubblewrap to wrap up your treasures.
