We did the day trip down the Colorado in Moab and it was awesome. We have never tried rafting before and Gavin made it fun, educational and taught us a lot about the fundamentals of river rafting. He made it as exciting as possible and we had a great time. This is the place to go for rafting in Moab. Thank you Gavin! Ted and YvonnePosted on Tripadvisor![]()

Let's be a clan! This trip was recommended to us when we were on the Durango to Silverton Jeep Tour and so glad we booked it. Our guide, Jay, was wonderful. He was knowledgeable and very friendly. He encouraged all the participants to become a "clan" and we did. It was great getting to know everyone. Mesa Verde National park is a treasure. Beautiful scenery. Jay knew so much about the park and had so much information. He even taught us about how the Native Americans built their dwellings. It was a wonderful tour. HIGHLY recommend!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Snowy mountain tour, so fun We thought we were going to be disappointed because due to the floods in Colorado, the train was cancelled so we had to be shuttled back to Durango. We were definitely not disappointed! This was a wonderful experience! We started out on the shuttle to Silverton with Jared. Glad he was driving cause it was sleeting on the crazy mountain roads but his experience in driving was apparent. When we got to Silverton, we were then transferred to be with Tim for the rest of the trip. He was amazing. He drove the jeep through the backroads of Silverton. He promised us snow and we got it! He had tons of information and even found us a moose. Cannot say enough about how much we loved travelling with Tim. He was awesome! Since the train was not running, he was also our shuttle driver back to Durango. He made that enjoyable, too. He even took us to the graveyard which was very different. On the way back to Durango, he also took us to Honeyville, where we learned about honey making and got to buy some honey products. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour! Bonus if you get Tim for your guide!Posted on Google![]()

We had a fantastic jeep tour learning about Silverton’s mining history and seeing some ghost towns. Our guide Jay was very knowledgeable about the mining process having worked in the mines himself. The scenery is fantastic from wildlife to the views.Posted on Google![]()
