ICONIC cars. ICONIC Roads. ICONIC scenery. ICONIC dining. There’s no better thrill than being behind the wheel of a high-performance car, emulating your favorite Formula One driver over some of the most scenic roads in America. This fantasy, for many, can now become a reality.
HunterMoss, a well-established driving tour company in Europe, has expanded to the U.S. with a selection of guided tours featuring rugged, mountainous drives in Utah and Colorado.
A fleet of automotive icons includes a Ferrari 296 GTS or F8 Spider, a Lamborghini Huracán EVO Spyder, an Aston Martin Vantage F1 or DBS, a Porsche 911 GT3 or 911 Turbo S, a McLaren GT, a Maserati MC20, an Audi R8, or a Corvette C8. You’ll have a chance to drive a variety of them on whichever tour you select.
Accommodating up to 12 people per tour, these experiences are highly personalized and carefully planned to ensure maximum enjoyment and fellowship. When the checkered flag drops, you embark on the thrilling drive, experiencing the powerful force of the car while soaking in the stunning scenery. Your rendezvous spans multiple days, with nightly group pit stops at refined accommodations offering gourmet dining and fine wines. Inevitably, the conversation will be about cars and performance.
HunterMoss offers an exhilarating exploration of Utah’s spectacular Wasatch Mountains. Its mountain roads rival the best of Switzerland and Austria. The winding roads through the breathtaking peaks and valleys allow you to exercise your inner Walter Mitty, imagining that you’re competing on the Mille Miglia or Targa Florio.
What was once cowboy and mining country has evolved into luxury accommodations in ski towns like Park City and neighboring Deer Valley. You’ll stay in the authentic and elegant Montage Deer Valley, one of America’s premier ski resorts in winter, and a hiking and mountain biking utopia during summer. You’ll rack up an appetite after a day of driving, so you can look forward to being treated to Michelin-approved dining at fabulous restaurants. Before or after dinner, relax in Utah’s largest spa, which will have you feeling recovered and ready for another day of driving.
Drivers can also embark on a journey through the Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ) Mountains, which stretch from southern Colorado to northern New Mexico, passing through snow-capped mountains, pine forests and deserts, with stops at historic Wild West villages and cattle ranches. On the High Road to Taos, you will experience all four seasons in just one drive through centuries-old adobe villages and dramatic mountains with sparkling lakes.
Overnight accommodations are at Bishop’s Lodge in the heart of artistic Santa Fe, where you’ll satiate your appetite with delicious wood-fired cuisine and slake your thirst with mezcal cocktails.
With any of these tours, you’ll be very sad when they’re over, but you’ll treasure the stories you’ll have to tell.
