Excursions en jeep dans le canyon de La Plata au départ de Durango

Aperçu
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!

Mild to Wild Rafting and Jeep Tours
Discover the spectacular La Plata Canyon (20 minutes West of Durango) and its beautiful U formation created by glaciers on one of our Colorado jeep tours. Several small waterfalls and cascading rivers follow the rugged jeep trails in the springtime along with lots of wildlife such as marmots, mule deer, elk herds, juncos, kingfishers, turkey vultures, red-tailed hawks and bald eagles. On our guided jeep tours you will see numerous wildflowers, high-alpine meadows, and avalanche gullies. Following the La Plata River (meaning “Silver” in Spanish) to La Plata City, an old mining town established in 1875, you’ll discover the remnants of old mining claims. These include a tall intact chimney left from the crew quarters, the framework of old cabins, and tailing piles from actual mining areas. Then, you’ll continue to the peak of Kennebec Pass at 12,000 feet above sea level (also above tree-line).

Rafting doux à sauvage et excursions en jeep
Découvrez le spectaculaire canyon de La Plata (à 20 minutes à l'ouest de Durango) et sa magnifique formation en U créée par les glaciers lors de l'une de nos excursions en jeep dans le Colorado. Plusieurs petites chutes d'eau et rivières en cascade suivent les sentiers de jeep accidentés au printemps, ainsi que de nombreux animaux sauvages tels que des marmottes, des cerfs mulets, des troupeaux de wapitis, des juncos, des martins-pêcheurs, des vautours à tête rouge, des faucons à queue rousse et des pygargues à tête blanche. Lors de nos visites guidées en jeep, vous verrez de nombreuses fleurs sauvages, des prairies de haute montagne et des couloirs d'avalanche. En suivant la rivière La Plata (qui signifie "Argent" en espagnol) jusqu'à La Plata City, une ancienne ville minière fondée en 1875, vous découvrirez les vestiges d'anciennes concessions minières. Ceux-ci comprennent une grande cheminée intacte laissée par les quartiers de l'équipage, la charpente d'anciennes cabines et des tas de résidus provenant de zones minières réelles. Ensuite, vous continuerez jusqu'au sommet du col Kennebec à 12 000 pieds au-dessus du niveau de la mer (également au-dessus de la limite des arbres).

Mild to Wild Rafting and Jeep Tours
Meet us at our Durango Office in the morning or afternoon for a 4-hour excursion up the ruggedly beautiful wilderness of La Plata Canyon, just 20 minutes from town. The trail starts off smooth and slowly transitions into a rubbled road about half up the canyon. Get ready to rock around and get to know the person next to you! As we make our way up the mountain, we'll stop to check out some waterfalls, meadows, and old remnants from Colorado's wild mining era. On the way up, keep your eyes peeled for deer, marmot, fox, birds of prey— and if you’re lucky, a moose or bear! Once we've reached the top of the canyon, we'll take some time to enjoy a spectacular view of the San Juan Mountains, Colorado's most beloved Rockies! From late June to early August, this is the perfect off-roading trail for wildflowers. In late September to early October, the large aspen groves make for amazing fall colors

We scheduled a Mesa Verde Tour several weeks prior to our trip, and when we arrived to spend a few days in the area, we explored the Mesa Verde National Park on our own. We had assumed our scheduled tour was 'off the beaten path' by jeep, but when we arrived for the tour, it was a van that was scheduled to go to the same places we had already explored. The driver, Jay, was wonderful!! When he found out he would be taking us to the same places we had been, he quickly got on the phone and was able to switch us to a Jeep Tour in the La Plata Canyon that same afternoon. He even followed us to the pick up location, and waited with us until the jeep arrived. Thank you Jay, for helping to make sure we had a great afternoon with a different tour than what we had scheduled...we appreciate it!! When we took the tour, we had a great ride, and the driver (Cambell) was wonderful...he gave us lots of info about the history of the area, and pointed out lots of things along the way - what a great afternoon!!
