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

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.
