About This Trip
Maybe you never knew this, but, a balanced breakfast comes with a side of fresh, morning alpine air. So start your day off right and jump on a morning jeep tour with us in La Plata Canyon! It’s good for you, after all.
This excursion is all about taking in the sites of 13,000 ft. peaks, roadside waterfalls, old mining cabins and wildlife.
From late June to early August, this is the perfect off-roading trail near Durango to see the most wildflowers. As for fall, the large aspen groves on this route turn to glittering gold in late September to early October.
On the way up, keep your eyes peeled for deer, marmot, fox, birds of prey, and if you’re lucky, a moose or bear.
Durango Jeep tours start at $99.00.
