Enjoy Durango's sampler 1/2 day raft trip and Mesa Verde's 700 Year Tour the day prior or after you've enjoyed out popular Jeep/Train package.
The Lower Animas River is great for ages 4-84, with Class I "moving water",
a few Class II "splashes" and one or more "wet and
fun" Class III rapids (depending on water level). You will
be treated to a different view of Durango, while learning the fascinating
history of the area. On Mesa Verde's 700 Year Tour, comfortable motor coaches will transport you to Chapin Mesa. Ranger-guided, easy hikes allow you to explore the earliest Mesa Top archaeological sites and the magnificent Cliff Palace.
