Book with the best and highest consumer-rated company in Durango, Co.Come and experience the La Plata Canyon tour also known as “Kennebec Pass”. This tour will take you up to 12,000 feet at or near the tree line. We get to see the amazing geology of how this canyon was carved out by ancient glaciers leaving the beautiful canyon along the way. We will get the chance to see wildlife such as deer, bears, marmots, birds, elk, and maybe even the elusive mountain lion. All of which have been spotted on our tours. La Plata Canyon is 20 minutes west of Durango, Colorado, and has a history of old Ghost Towns and plenty of old mines to chat about along the way. An absolute bucket list item! What to expect: about a 20-minute drive on the highway to the entrance to the canyon dirt and dust~ this is an open-air vehicle bumpy roads ~ This is a Jeep tour An experienced guide who knows the area and roads very well We will have extra blankets and jackets for you just in case you need some.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Jeep tour in La Plata Canyon?

A: There's no strict age limit, but kids usually need to be at least 3-4 years old to enjoy the ride safely. Just remember it can be bumpy and dusty, so some younger ones might not find it comfortable. If you have older kids or teens, they’ll definitely love the adventure and views!

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

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can get chilly up at 12,000 feet, even in summer. I'd recommend a light jacket and some sturdy shoes for the bumpy ride. Also, consider a hat and sunglasses – the views are stunning but you’ll want protection from the sun!

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of the tour?

A: They usually check the weather beforehand and will contact you if they need to reschedule. If it’s super rainy or snowy, they’ll likely postpone. Just keep your schedule flexible! It’s worth waiting for a clear day to see those views.

Just did the La Plata Canyon Jeep Tour - Wow!

I took the La Plata Canyon Jeep Tour last weekend and it was absolutely breathtaking! The views at the top were out of this world. Our guide was super knowledgeable about the area’s history, which made it really interesting. And we even spotted some deer along the way! If you’re in Durango, this is a must-do.

Considering this Jeep Tour as a gift – thoughts?

I’m thinking about buying the La Plata Canyon Jeep Tour for my dad’s birthday. He loves the outdoors but isn’t super experienced with off-roading. Do you think this is a good pick for someone like him? How’s the ride overall?
