FIRST DAY TRIP WE TOOK A JEEP TOUR OF SILVERTON (ANIMUS FORKS) WITH THE TOUR GUIDE NAMED MILES. HE WAS SO ACCOMIDATING AND KNOWLEDGABLE OF THE AREA. HE IS THE TOUR GUIDE THAT YOU WISH TO GET. YOU COULD TELL BY THE WAY HE EFFORTLESSLY SPROUTED OUT INFORMATION OF THE AREA HOW PASSIONATE HE IS OF THE AREA. HE TOOK US UP TO ANIMUS FORKS AND WE TOURED THE GHOST MINING TOWN AND PLAYED IN THE SNOW. NEXT THAT DAY WE TOOK THE TRAIN BACK TO DURANGO AND THE FALL VIEWS OF THE ANIMAS RIVER WERE SPECTACULAR. THE TREES HAD BEAUTIFUL FALL COLORS JUST WAS ANTICIPATED. NEXT DAY I HONESTLY HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT. OUR GUIDE JARRED WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK. HE TOOK US TO VERY MANY DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE PARK AND WAS VERY QUICK TO ANSWER QUESTIONS (HE IS A MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER) AND MADE THE TRIP VERY INTERESTING. I WOULD DEFINATELY RECOMMEND USING THIS TOUR COMPANY. WHEN I CALLED THE COMPANY TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS ON THE WEATHER AND HOW TO DRESS, JENNY WAS SO SWEET AND VERY HELPFUL ON WHAT WE NEEDED TO PACK TO BE COMFORTABLE. SO WITH EVERYTHING SAID I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT THESE TOURS BE TAKEN MJD
