Description

Experience the thrill of our most popular Durango Jeep tour, offering a unique glimpse into the heart of Colorado's San Juan Mountains. Begin your adventure at the canyon entrance, where you'll board an "open-air" vehicle to ascend into the breathtaking La Plata Mountains and Canyon near Durango, CO.

This family-friendly 2.5-hour journey is perfect for those seeking a shorter, less rigorous tour without missing out on the area's stunning natural beauty. As we navigate through the canyon, you'll encounter three extraordinary waterfalls, each offering unique photo opportunities. The highlight of this tour is an exclusive visit to a private 25-foot waterfall, nestled on a historic early 1900s mining claim, accessible only to our guests.

Immerse yourself in the history and beauty of the area, surrounded by old mining relics and the refreshing spray of the waterfall. Reach elevations of about 10,000 feet above sea level for awe-inspiring views. This tour is perfect for all ages, though it's important to note that car seats are not provided. Be prepared for a journey that's equal parts dirty, dusty, bouncy, and utterly exhilarating, with fantastic vistas awaiting you at every turn.

We'll be heading to high elevations, so bring a jacket or request one from us, as it can get windy. For those with mobility issues, accommodations in the cab are available upon prior request.

We go out in all weather, rain or shine. If the weather looks rainy, bring a rain jacket. We will have fun no matter what the weather does. We also rent out extra gear in case you forgot your rain jacket at home and will have blankets along as well.

What should I wear and bring on a Jeep tour?

You won’t want to forget your camera, there will be some amazing views! Hat, sunscreen, sunglasses- although the temperature drops, the sun’s rays become far more intense as you gain elevation so you want to make sure you protect yourself while in our open-air vehicle. Make sure to bring Water- it is very easy to get dehydrated at high elevation. Wear good shoes in case we have time to walk around, bring a rain shell and multiple layers of clothing to stay warm or shed layers as needed.

Will I be required to drive on this tour?

Nope! You'll be enjoying the views from the back of the open-air (covered) vehicle. Our expert guides do the rest!

Do I need to be in good physical shape for this Jeep tour?

While most of this trip is simply riding in a vehicle enjoying views, you'll want to be able to comfortably climb a short step ladder in and out of the vehicle and hold on for a ride that can be bumpy at times. Optional short walks at high elevation to visit scenic viewpoints.
