Description
Meet your Jeep guide in the charming Victorian town of Silverton, and head into the tundra for a few hours of fun in a customized safari Jeep. A Silverton Jeep Tour is the ultimate way to experience the jaw dropping beauty of Colorado’s most rugged mountains. The off-roading trails around Silverton are filled with wild meadows, panoramic views, waterfalls, and 150-year-old mining structures from when the area was first developed. In late spring, the wildflowers paint the slopes and fill the meadows below the Rocky Mountains. In early fall, the aspens completely transform the landscape with the most impressive fall colors in the country. Along the way, your guide will share a wealth of information about the area's unruly history and famous Wild West lore, along with the amazing geology, wildlife, and more! No matter what time you’re here (aside from when the trails are snowed over), a Silverton Jeep Tour will take your Colorado experience to the next level.
