Q&A
A: Great question! The La Plata Mountains Half Day Tour is suitable for all ages, so kids can definitely join. Just make sure they’re comfortable with a 4-hour ride in a 4x4. There's also a safety briefing at the start, and the guides are super helpful with kids.
A: If the weather doesn’t cooperate, Mountain Waters Rafting typically allows you to reschedule without extra fees. Just call them ahead of time. They keep safety as a priority, so if conditions are unsafe, they’ll definitely let you know.
A: Yes! There’s ample parking at the Mountain Waters Rafting headquarters in Durango. They even have a designated area for larger vehicles, which is super convenient if you’re coming in a big SUV or truck.
