One-Way Train • Jeep Trail Tour • Rafting • Mesa Verde
Explore the best of the Southwest! Start out with a guided half-day rafting trip on the Lower Animas River through Class I, II and III rapids. Then, on another day, we’ll shuttle your group up to the old mining town of Silverton along the Million Dollar Sky Way in a coach bus for your jeep trail tour. Our jeep trail drivers will take you up into the high country to explore Colorado’s most preserved ghost town, Animas Forks, along with the high altitude wildlife, wildflowers and cascading creeks and falls. All the while our guides will teach you about the flora, fauna and history of the area. After the tour, you have some time in Silverton to shop around or eat lunch before you board the Narrow Gauge Railroad back to Durango through the beautiful Animas River Canyon. On your third day, you will get to explore the ancient ruins of Ancestral Puebloans at Mesa Verde National Park on a ranger-guided tour. This package is truly the best of the Southwest!
