About This Trip
A Quick Town Run With 1 Hour on the Water
A Silverton Jeep Tour is the ultimate way to experience the jaw dropping beauty of Southwest Colorado’s most rugged Rocky Mountains and rich mining history. Our routes are filled with peaceful meadows, panoramic views, waterfalls, and 150-year-old mining sites from when the area was first developed.
In late spring, the wildflowers completely paint the mountain slopes. In early fall, the area showcases some of the most impressive fall colors in the country. No matter what time you’re here though (aside from when the trails are snowed over), a Silverton Jeep Tour will take your Colorado experience to the next level.
Our Half-day Silverton Jeep tours start at $129

Kim Furry2024-10-27 Miles gave my team a fantastic tour! Lois Weddle2024-10-27 Jay was a fun and educated guide to Mesa Verde! Thank you Alissa Troike2024-10-26 It was great. Miles was incredible. Highly recommend!!! Tom Evans2024-10-25 Great trip to the old mining operations north of Silverton. Very enjoyable. Vicky Guggino2024-10-19 Miles was our guide for both the 1/2 day Jeep Tour out of Silverton and the Mesa Verde Discovery Tour. He did a great job driving, and the history he told us about was amazing. He also gave great dinner suggestions after both tours! Terrye Gorman2024-10-17 It was super. Our tour guide Miles was awesome. Sarah Mcanally2024-10-15 The staff was friendly and went above and beyond to help meet our dates and needs. Their Jeeps were in great condition and took us to see parts of the untouched countryside that I have never seen before. We will certainly use them again on our next trip to Durango. Jane Turpen2024-10-12 We took a jeep trip up into the mountains to enjoy the fall scenery. The colors were beautiful, our guide,Jay, was excellent, and our group of six was great! We even saw them on our train trip back to Durango. There were some health issues for one traveler and a fear of heights for another. Jay was just terrific in handling both! He was caring but didn’t make a big issue of either. Just took the time to make sure everyone was doing okay and made it a good experience for all. It was a terrific day! Margot Wacks2024-10-12 We booked the guided Mesa Verde trip for our family of four. Our guide was Lee, he was INCREDIBLE!!! A wealth of knowledge, kind, considerate, engaging, and wonderful with our two small children (7 and 10) who at times have endless questions. He really made the history come alive for all of us and definitely made the trip a fun historical adventure! He was just wonderful to work with and made the entire experience one we will never forget. This was our first experience with a guided tour and we will definitely do this again. Not having to worry about driving, navigating the park traffic, getting lost, or not making it to the our scheduled palace tour on time was a huge relief. Everything was planned for us, including lunch. We just had to show up and enjoy!

How To Dress And What To Bring On A Colorado Jeep Tour
Important Considerations
We take different routes around Silverton depending on what people would like to see most. Some trails have more mining history while others are more about the views, so let your guide know what you’re most interested in if you have a preference!
Colorado Car Seat Law states children up to 8 years old must be in an appropriate car seat. Please bring your own.
In fall and spring the temperatures / weather can fluctuate quite a bit. So bring layers with you just in case! The guides usually have blankets as well.
The San Juan Mountains are prone to afternoon rain showers! Bring some rain gear.
All routes/itineraries are subject to change depending on road conditions.
