History of the Mile-Hi Jeep Club


On August of 1956, Kurland Motors sent out an informational letter to Jeep owners. With the help of the grapevine, a surprising 500 jeepers packed the Kurland Motors showroom. The consensus that night was to form the first four- wheel drive club in the State of Colorado and Mile-Hi Jeep Club was born. Our official registered logo is a red, white, and blue representation of a Jeep climbing 14,264 foot Mt. Evans, with Mt. Elbert in the background.

The purpose of the Mile Hi Jeep Club of Colorado is to:

  • Unite adventure-loving people in worthwhile 4-wheel drive activities.

  • Educate its members in the proper manner of all road driving

  • Protect, and preserve the natural beauty and terrain.

  • Participate, on a voluntary basis, in search and rescue and other humanitarian missions, as the community needs.

  • Share good fellowship while operating our vehicles in a manner to preserve and protect our land for all generations.

  • Extend the courtesy of the open road to all.
