I have done 14 tours with him, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His love of the Colorado country and care andconcern for it is very and inspiring. Everywhere you look is like a picture postcard. Everything so beautiful.

A mountain adventure has become my tradition every summer while performing at the Bravo Vail Festival, and my mountain guide has always been the “Wolfman”, naturalist, Wolfgang Überbacher. After 18 jeep trips, July after July, you’d think there wouldn’t be anything new to discover, but every trip is different. What remains the same is Wolf’s integrity, insistence on safety, and his knowledge, enthusiasm and respect for nature. He will teach you how to use it to bolster your immune system, rub it on you as sunscreen, use it for survival and make the case for protecting it for our future. An adventure with Wolf is unforgettable. Born in Austria, he has lived an amazing life and along with incredible stories, you will learn how to take better photographs and perhaps even learn how to yodel! He loves what he does and you will, too!

We had a good friend recommend Wolf. Now it’s my turn to recommend Wolf to you. You be hard pressed to meet a more knowledgeable and friendly person than Wolf. He is the best guide we have ever had. He is a safe and careful driver, a tracker, perfect host and a teacher. If I were lost in these Mountains, I would want him with me. Wolf is a true Mountain Icon.

We met Wolf in 2006 during an unforgettable trip to Colorado. Since then, we joined him on multiple jeep tours where he shared and inspired us with his passion for the outdoors.

He is truly a wonder that the planet was gifted with! Wolf is so kind, knowledgeable and caring. His tours are fantastic! It is a privilege and an honor to be around Wolf. We cannot wait to go back!

Went on a Jeep tour plus a hike on Lake Creek in the New York Mountain Holy Cross wilderness area (about 6 hours round trip) Wolf is an awesome tour guide! He’s very knowledgeable of the flora and fauna in the Rocky Mountains. He’s a very social guy that loves what he does. He’s been involved with the wilderness for a very long time. He prepares a simple lunch after the hike and is very hospitable. He is always prepared, packs extra blankets and jackets, first aid kits, and other utilities and safety gear you would expect for a wilderness tour to get away from the crowds in the Colorado mountain range.
I’ve also been on Wolf’s tour near Castle Peak as well as Resolution Mountain.
The mountain flowers are in bloom near the end of June through July. I recommend that time frame or sometime in the fall when the colors change. Dress for the weather. If you’re hiking, wear long pants and hiking boots. Wolf won’t hesitate to go on a more advanced hike to get to the more stunning places in the mountains if you ask.
The tours are a great experience and you’ll make a life long friend with The Wolf.

Wow! Where to begin? A Wolf Jeep tour is an adventure you will never forget. We have booked trips with Wolf for three decades. I’ve experienced his trips no less than 25 times. We just keep coming back.
Mountain Wolf is a “one man show”. His knowledge of the area is compounded by his vast knowledge of the flora and fauna of the forest. Name the malady? Wolf knows the natural remedy. My background is as an ecology secondary/college instructor and curriculum developer. I always learn something new.
If you are really fortunate, you will learn some of his personal story which is nothing short of extraordinary! Our family has come to love this remarkable, beautiful man. Expensive? Yes. Worth every penny? Without a doubt!

Who else but Wolf Überbacher could offer an unforgettable jeep ride tailored to two seniors, two kids under 10 and their Dad? Who else but Wolf could offer a serenade of yodeling, classic stories of the early days of Vail, a healthy lunch with hand-picked and dried fruit and delicious cheese and nuts, and a spontaneous photography lesson thrown in along the way with some of the best vistas in the state. No wonder Wolf won the Best Outdoor Activities Outfitter in Vail Valley for three years in a row as well as the Best Family Entertainment and Best Romantic Date. He gets our vote. He is a one-of-a-kind character who has so much knowledge and experience to offer guaranteeing an unforgettable day.
