Wycieczki jeepem po kanionie La Plata z Durango

Przegląd
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!

Od łagodnego do dzikiego raftingu i wycieczek jeepem
Odkryj spektakularny kanion La Plata (20 minut na zachód od Durango) i jego piękną formację U utworzoną przez lodowce podczas jednej z naszych wycieczek jeepem po Kolorado. Wiosną wzdłuż wyboistych szlaków jeepów płynie kilka małych wodospadów i kaskadowych rzek, a także wiele dzikich zwierząt, takich jak świstaki, jelenie, stada łosi, juncos, zimorodki, sępy indycze, jastrzębie rude i bieliki amerykańskie. Podczas naszych wycieczek jeepem z przewodnikiem zobaczysz liczne polne kwiaty, wysokogórskie łąki i wąwozy lawinowe. Podążając wzdłuż rzeki La Plata (po hiszpańsku „Srebro”) do La Plata City, starego miasta górniczego założonego w 1875 roku, odkryjesz pozostałości dawnych roszczeń górniczych. Należą do nich wysoki nienaruszony komin pozostały z kwater załogi, ramy starych kabin i hałdy ogonowe z rzeczywistych obszarów górniczych. Następnie udasz się na szczyt przełęczy Kennebec na wysokości 12 000 stóp nad poziomem morza (również powyżej linii drzew).

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

Our driver was Jerry, who offered blankets, water, granola bars. He was fun and EXTREMELY knowledgeable. He knew his history and information, and kept us entertained, and safe while we climbed to the top in the covered jeep. This trip was breathtakingly beautiful, and Jerry stopped at all the right times!

We went on the jeep tour the last week in September 2024 that takes you up to Silverton where we took the train back to Durango. Jared picked us up at the Mild & Wild sign and seating area in the train station parking lot right on time with what appeared to be, a new shuttle bus; one of three in their fleet. He was very knowledgeable of the sights and he gave us a play by play of many of the historic locations as we made our way to Silverton. He dropped us off at the center of town, where the public restrooms were. As a side note, the restrooms were in very good condition, also appeared fairly new and rather large. We had about 30 minutes to walk around before he came back with the jeep to take us on our tour. The jeep was a fairly new Jeep Gladiator. Please note that this is important since I had been on another jeep tour in Red River where the jeep broke down halfway up the mountain. There were 7 in our group; there was plenty of room. We stopped at several historic points of interest before taking a trail above the tree line. On that trail, we stopped and got out at several of the old mining camps where Jared explained the history of each building and how the mining operation worked. We stopped at a waterfall and explored so there was a bit of hiking involved. Jared was insistent that we stay hydrated and he brought plenty of water for everyone. The trail was rather rugged so I doubt a car would make it. It was fairly steep and there were lots of rocks; not a big challenge for the Gladiator with rock crawler tires. The scenery was amazing being the perfect time when the leaves were changing. Overall, the best jeep tour we had experienced. We had so many questions and Jared was a regular Wikipedia on mining, Silverton, and geology.

This was a great tour! Our guide, Jerry, was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. He made sure we saw the waterfalls and also shared information about wildlife and the geology of the area. We saw some beautiful views, also. Jerry was very personable and humorous. This was a great way to see and learn about the area.
