Great tour. Harrison was our guide and he was top notch. I live in Durango and we had family members coming in from out of town. We wanted to do something different. Beautiful scenery. Informative history of the area that I was unaware of and I've lived in this area for 20 years.

Travis was our guide/driver. He was very friendly and enjoyable. It's obvious he loves his job. Even though we couldn't quite get up to Kennebec Pass due to snow, it was still a fabulous morning adventure. Highly recommend!

I'm glad you enjoyed jeeping in the mountains, it is one of my very favorite things to do around Durango. Thank you for the review and recommendation.

Mountain Waters was a big part of our successful Durango trip. All four in my family took a half day 4x4 tour of La Plata Canyon. Beau took us on this and again, he did a great job. He offered options and offered plenty of info about what we were seeing, the history of the area, and so forth. We made it to the Notch for a stunning view then worked our way down. Do it!

The Notch at the top of the La Plata Mountains is a truly memorable place in some of the most scenic mountains in the country, glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the review!
