5.00This package was first rate! The car travel from Durango to Silverton was so scenic. The driver shared history of the area, weather tips, and personal experiences of living in the area. Once in Silverton we transferred to a Jeep. And off the main road to a path up in the forest and nearly 12,000 ft! We saw remnants of mines, waterfalls, and just being in the midst of the San Juan Mtns is indescribable beautiful and humbly the power of nature.
Interesting tour and great views from train

5.00Breathtaking scenery!! I’ll never forget this trip through the mountains! Excellent concessions with free refill cup! We were a half hour taking off late from minor train trouble which cut off our time in Silverton, which is just like being in an old western movie! It’s awesome!!! We went coach - the cheapest ticket - seats are narrow for 2 peeps.

5.00This experience was absolutely amazing. Even though the rain was relentless all day, Jay made sure everyone still had a great time and was comfortable, safe, and got to see some incredible scenery before heading back to town. Unfortunately, the trains were cancelled due to the rain and high river levels, but Jay made sure to keep us updated on the latest info and also gave us a ride back to Durango. All in all, still a great day and an experience I'd recommend to anyone!
Breathtaking scenery!

5.00Wonderful Jeep Tour. We got to see so many waterfalls that we couldn't keep count. The fall colors were amazing. We appreciated our Guide Jay's humor and knowledge of the area. He also went above and beyond to make sure we made it back to Durango safely after our train was cancelled due to rain. Thank you Mild to Wild for a great time.
Amazing Day!!

5.00We had an incredible experience! Our tour guide Jay Bird with Mild to Wild was so fun, personable and made sure felt comfortable during our Jeep tour (it was cold and raining) He gave us blankets and took time to show us the beautiful sites of Silverton Durango. You have to purchase a separate ticket for the train ride back… which I did not know initially when I booked. The online tickets were not available but Will with Mild To Wild helped me get the tickets I need to get back to Durango. Both Will and Jay went above and beyond. The train ride back was absolutely breathtaking. It was our first time to Durango and it was our favorite excursion during our trip. Highly recommend!!
A great day in the mountains

5.00It was a 10/10 experience Tosh made the Jeep tour interesting and exciting. The views are amazing and Tosh was very informative , recommend this tour. Allowed us to stop anywhere we wanted to and never rushed us. The steep snow top mountains views just breathtaking . Will never forget the views Tosh breaking a rock open and silver inside, pretty cool. Tosh taught us about the top 3 ways miners died.
