About This Tour
Discover the majesty of Silverton in the best way – with a Durango Rivertrippers Jeep Trail Tour! Breathtaking vistas and hands-on history unite in our Silverton Express Ghost Town Tour. Led by a knowledgeable guide, you will travel into the mountains above Silverton to experience the history of the mining rush firsthand. Visit the remnants of the infamous ghost town Animas Forks, explore gorgeous mountain nature, and discover views unreachable without a 4×4. The Express Tour offers 2.5 hours of scenic exploration and is an easy way to make the most of your time. The trip is suitable for all ages. Be sure to bring a jacket regardless of the season – at these high altitudes, it is chilly year-round. Looking for more ways to experience Colorado? Check out our rafting and inflatable kayak adventures for even more exhilarating fun.
