Quick Details
Discover some of the canyon’s most scenic and beautiful waterfalls!
If you love waterfalls you will enjoy this tour. Explore the majestic La Plata Mountains and Canyon near Durango, CO at some of the canyon’s most scenic and beautiful waterfalls. This is a mild scenic tour fun for the entire family who does not want to do the full four-hour tour. We will stop at 3 unique waterfalls for plenty of photo opportunities, as we climb higher into the canyon. Our last waterfall stop is on private property accessible only to Durango Rivertrippers. This stop gets you up close to a stunning 25-30ft waterfall with some old mining structures scattered around the base. We reach around 10,000 feet above sea level and stop to enjoy the views. This is a great adventure for the entire family. All ages are welcome on this trip however car seats are not provided. NOTE: This tour is a mild tour that does not go up to the top of Kennebec Pass.
You will board into our “Open-Air” vehicle (however we reserve the right to take a Jeep Wrangler if needed). We will drive on the highway for approximately 20-25 minutes to the mouth of the canyon and from there we will start our tour into the canyon. It can get windy so if you get cold easily please bring a jacket or ask for one, we carry extra jackets and blankets but you may need to ask. You will also need to climb a ladder to get in the back of the vehicle. If you have mobility issues ask to ride in the cab and let us know before your arrival. We like to say this trip is dirty, dusty, bouncy yet fun and has fantastic views.
