About the owners

Colorado West Family

Colorado West Jeeps Rentals, Inc. was incorporated on June 4, 1984 by a group of local Ouray businessmen to fulfill the demand for tours in the San Juan Mountains. Bob Burdick was hired as a tour driver and in 1992 he purchased Colorado West Jeep Rentals, Inc.

In 2012, after a life changing accident, Bob sold Colorado West to his sister, Judy Lindberg and her son, Jeff Lindberg. Judy and Jeff operate Colorado West with the help of other family members to continue to offer excellent customer service striving to make your vacation a very memorable experience. When you leave Colorado West Jeeps, we want you to feel like you’ve been treated like family!

In 2019 Judy and Gary have stepped back a little more, with a more limited role in Colorado West.  You may see them throughout the season as they enjoy spending more time with grandchildren.  Jeff and Kathy continue to operate with the same family values that have been with Colorado West since Bob Took over in 1992.

Colorado West has had the same tour guides for over 10 years.  Welcoming them back for 2022.  Don, Ken, Steve, Hal, Barry and Rich …of course Jasper keeps the vehicles in shape. Returning again this year Jeff and Kathys Daughter and Son in Law(Kaylyn and David) will be back to work the office and daily duties.  Also for 2022 Kurt and Sheilagh will be back in late season to help.  Kurt is an excellent jeep washer, and Sheilagh…well, her charming personality and frequent dance moves keeps us all entertained.  Welcoming the next generation, Kaylyn and David are bringing their brand-new baby Ella (Jeff and Kathys 1st grandchild).   Looking forward to meeting our regular customers and of course welcoming new customers to the family.
