In 1984, Michael Jackson escaped fame at Colorado’s Caribou Ranch; sent bodyguards back to Denver, rode an ATV, rehearsed for hours and found freedom that may have inspired Neverland Ranch

At the height of his fame in 1984, Michael Jackson took a private break at Caribou Ranch in Colorado during The Jacksons’ Victory Tour. Away from the crowds, cameras and constant attention, the singer enjoyed horseback riding, explored the Rocky Mountains on a three-wheeled Honda ATV and spent hours rehearsing his dance moves. The secluded recording studio offered him something he rarely experienced: the freedom to step outside without being surrounded by bodyguards.
