Overview

What sets our Columbus Basin Jeep Tour apart is its perfect balance of time and adventure. In just 2½ hours, you’ll experience all the hallmarks of a classic Colorado backcountry journey — alpine meadows, waterfalls, wildlife, and history — without committing to a full half-day. Unlike the longer La Plata Canyon tour, which climbs higher to Kennebec Pass at 12,000 feet, this route tops out at 10,745 feet in Columbus Basin, giving you an immersive mountain experience that’s shorter, family-friendly, and easy to fit into a busy Durango itinerary.

Morning 1/4 Day Jeep Tour
Duration: 3 hours
9:00 AM - 11:30 AM
