Our Durango Jeep tour travels up La Plata Canyon, a rugged ravine nestled in an alpine paradise.
Here in this glacially sculpted landscape, you’ll find waterfalls cascading into the canyon, hallways of glimmering aspens, countless wildflowers, wildlife scurrying between the meadows, and panoramic views of Colorado's most beautiful Rocky Mountains. Like we said, paradise!
Our fun-loving and experienced guides are Durango locals, who know this canyon's rich history and ecology like nobody else. While other outfitters tend to let the scenery do all the work for them, our guides give you a wealth of insight about what makes this area incredibly special. They're also talented drivers who will get you up this rutted trail without a hitch.
Most people don't want to take their own vehicles up this old mining route, and our open-air Jeeps are customized for a smoother ride— although it will still be bumpy about half way through. It's all a part of the fun!

Mild to Wild Rafting and Jeep Tours, Durango, Colorado, United States Meet us at our Durango Office in the morning or afternoon for a 4-hour excursion up the ruggedly beautiful wilderness of La Plata Canyon, just 20 minutes from town.
The trail starts off smooth and slowly transitions into a rubbled road about half up the canyon. Get ready to rock around and get to know the person next to you!
As we make our way up the mountain, we'll stop to check out some waterfalls, meadows, and old remnants from Colorado's wild mining era.
On the way up, keep your eyes peeled for deer, marmot, fox, birds of prey— and if you’re lucky, a moose or bear! Once we've reached the top of the canyon, we'll take some time to enjoy a spectacular view of the San Juan Mountains, Colorado's most beloved Rockies!
From late June to early August, this is the perfect off-roading trail for wildflowers. In late September to early October, the large aspen groves make for amazing fall colors 240 minutes

Couldn't have had a better time. The day was beautiful, our riding companies were a blast and Miles, our driver and tour guide, was simply fantastic! Would recommend this trip to anyone. Such a great way to enjoy the mountain/canyon. Loved every minute of it! Thanks Mild to Wild for a wonderful day!

The half-day jeep tour to La Plata Canyon was amazing. The Aspens were in color so the views were spectacular. Miles was a terrific guide -- be sure to ask for him! I was travelling with my girl friends and we met some great people on the tour that made it extra fun. I would highly recommend this tour!

Absolutely recommend the jeep tour with Tosh! He’s very knowledgeable in the history of the mountain, survival, plants, wildlife…pretty much everything Durango. I don’t think we’ve met a more friendly person.
