Our Durango Jeep tour travels up La Plata Canyon, a rugged ravine nestled in an alpine paradise. Here in this glacially sculpted landscape, you’ll find waterfalls cascading into the canyon, hallways of glimmering aspens, countless wildflowers, wildlife scurrying between the meadows, and panoramic views of Colorado's most beautiful Rocky Mountains. Like we said, paradise! Our fun-loving and experienced guides are Durango locals, who know this canyon's rich history and ecology like nobody else. While other outfitters tend to let the scenery do all the work for them, our guides give you a wealth of insight about what makes this area incredibly special. They're also talented drivers who will get you up this rutted trail without a hitch. Most people don't want to take their own vehicles up this old mining route, and our open-air Jeeps are customized for a smoother ride— although it will still be bumpy about half way through. It's all a part of the fun!

Q&A

Q: Are there any age limits for kids on this Jeep tour?

A: There’s no strict age limit for the Durango Half Day Jeep Tour, but it's recommended for kids ages 5 and up. They’ll love the scavenger hunt included, which is perfect for keeping them engaged during the ride. Just keep in mind that the ride can get bumpy, so kids should be able to sit comfortably in the open-air Jeep!

Q: What should I wear for the Jeep tour in La Plata Canyon?

A: Definitely wear layers! The weather can change quickly in the mountains, so a light jacket is a good idea, especially since it can get chilly up there. Also, wear closed-toe shoes since you’ll be hopping in and out of the Jeep, and it might get a bit muddy in spots.

Q: Is the Jeep tour still fun if it rains?

A: Yes, the Jeep tour can still be fun in light rain! They provide ponchos for everyone, and the scenery is actually quite magical with the rain adding to the waterfalls and lush greenery. However, if the weather is severe, they might reschedule for safety. Just check with the provider the day before to confirm!

Just got back from the Durango Jeep Tour, and WOW!

I went on the Durango Half Day Jeep Tour to La Plata Canyon last week, and it was incredible! The views were breathtaking, and our guide was super knowledgeable about the area. They provided blankets and water, which was nice since it was a bit chilly. The scavenger hunt for the kids kept my little ones entertained the whole time. Totally worth the price!

Thinking of gifting the Jeep tour to my parents, any thoughts?

I'm looking to give my parents an adventure gift for their anniversary, and this Jeep tour in Durango seems perfect! They love nature and exploring new places. I'm just wondering if it’s suitable for older folks or if it might be too bumpy for them. Any advice?
