Had an awesome experience on a jeep ride through La Plata Canyon with Jared. He was knowledgeable and a skilled driver, we were in good hands. The scenery was gorgeous and we enjoyed seeing this beautiful place. Thanks Jared!

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!

Tips for Your tubing Adventure

Animas River ACCESS POINTS

  • Oxbow Park (not highly recommended for tubes)
  • 32nd Street
  • Behind the Recreation Center
  • 29th Street Memorial Park
  • 9th Street Bridge
  • Santa Rite Park
  • High Bridge (before Walmart)

WHAT TO WEAR & BRING

  • Swimsuit/Quick drying clothing
  • Water shoes or secure sandals with heel straps
  • Hat
  • Waterproof bag
  • Sunscreen
  • Sunglasses with a strap

Important Considerations

  • Tubing can be hard work especially at lower water levels. There can be a lot of rocks to avoid and difficulties in finding the deepest channels.
  • The lower the water is, the more challenging it is. A better option is often a guided inflatable kayak trip. The guide will navigate you through the passable channels and your shuttle is taken care of!
  • No open containers of alcohol are allowed on the river.
  • No glass containers.
  • Pack out all trash and dispose of it in the proper receptacle.
  • Dogs must be on a leash on shore and dog waste must be cleaned up.
  • Respect private property and do not trespass.
  • Be polite and courteous to others on and near the river.
  • When approaching anglers, move away to the opposite side of the river to pass.
