I know there are tubing hills in Fraser and Coppermountain, but the thought of dropping $60+ for an hour seems a little excessive. I'll do it if there is nothing else, but figured I would ask around first.

Looking for somewhere within 2 hours drive of south Denver. Just needs to be realitively "safe" for younger kids, i.e. not too steep, etc. Brining our own tubes & sleds isn't a problem.

Snow Tubing
BACK TO WINTER ACTIVITIES INDEX
Who hasn't enjoyed snow tubing after a fresh snow? Beaver Meadows Resort Ranch enhances the experience by offering wide open hill runs, perfect for snow tubing, just a short walk from the units. Just think of it, for your next Winter Family Vacation, parents can watch from the restaurant as their kids enjoy Beaver Meadows Resort Ranch's terrain for hours. As they shoot down the hill, laughter fills the air. Coasting to a stop they race up to the top again. Kids of all ages (yes, adults too!) enjoy this activity. We guarantee a good nights rest for you and your kids! Beaver Meadows Resort Ranch allows our snow tubes only on the snow tubing hill.

Access to our snow tubing hill requires a Beaver Meadows Resort Ranch Snow Tubing Pass. Passes are designated either Adult Pass or Kid & Senior Passes. "Kids" are children under 12 years of age and "Seniors" are adults over 65 years of age. Each Snow Tubing Pass includes a tube rental.

All passes are designated either Full or Half Day. Full Day passes are from 9am - 4pm. Half Day passes are from 1:30pm - 4pm. CLICK HERE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT OUR WINTER SEASON PASSES.

Reportedly was once a ski area so there are nice clear hills. His kids are 2&amp;4 so I know there is safe stuff. Can get details tomorrow if interested.

I see people sledding/tubing around parts of Lake Dillon sometimes.

2nd. Right above the marina in Dillon.

OOOOya

Assuming there's enough snow...there was back in my sledding/tubing days...

At the point on 103 when you intersect Witter Gulch (will be on s side of road), there is an open field on the north side of the road. The field drains north. Back in the early 80's it was a lightly used snowmobile trail - made for a great tubing run.

Sounds like the Hidden Valley snow play area inside the park along Trail Ridge Rd.

Matt Daniels

Hmm.. sounds iteresting. Can't seem to find it on the map though - east or west side?

...And follow Trail Ridge Rd. till you get to the first 180 degree turn, and you'll see the sign there for Hidden Valley. It's just a mile or so past where Hwy 34 and 36 meet, and it will be on the right side of the road.

I've never actually gone tubing there, so I don't know how nice it is or anything...I just know where it's at.
