Half Day Silverton Jeep Tour

To the San Juan Mountains, and Beyond!

About This Trip

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

We did the Silverton Jeep Tour Package on 9/28/26 and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide, Tim, took us to picturesque landscapes while giving us knowledge of the history surrounding the mountains of Silverton, all while it was raining I should say. Plus we were able to see and experience first hand snow falling at a higher altitude. We were given ample time to shop around town before departing on the train back to Durango. Only minor thing I would critique was that the roof cover, for the 6 seats in back, was not 99.9% waterproof because their were water drops falling from the cover while it was raining but it was no biggie for us and part of the adventure to be honest (we were given waterproof blankets to cover our bodies from the beginning). PLEASE BRING LAYERS AS MENTIONED ON THEIR WEBSITE (YOU'RE GOING TO NEED THEM)!

Our tour to Mesa Verde with Ann as our guide was truly amazing! She was so knowledgeable, answered questions and gave us so much to think about regarding Mesa Verde. The lunch provided was filling and there were plenty of refreshments offered throughout the day. I highly recommend the full day tour! Visiting Cliff Palace is so worth it!

  • 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.
