La Plata Canyon Jeep Tour, Waterfall's & Views ~ Half Day

Overview

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.

Not as good as expected with price . Prices are high and very little they go and didn’t take to parking top area.

Please be honest in your review. We did not go to the parking area because your large group did not show up until the tour was scheduled to depart. We asked you to please arrive 20 minutes early to situate your group. You chose not to do this and did not depart until 23 minutes past our departure time. We also provided you a private tour and returned on time as we promised vs. arriving back in the dark. Next time please open emails and arrive early with a large group.

Loved the beauty of the autumn colors! Some parts of the ride was rough and bumpy but love riding ATVs which are similar. Great tour guide who my husband enjoyed talking and learning from. Thank you!

Once off the main road the ride could be slow and very bumpy at times. There are some wonderful views of the valley below. After a 3000 ft. climb you are treated to a scenic view of the surrounding mountains. Our guide Nathan provided some interesting facts and history of the area.
