Established in 1946, the Granddaddy of high-mountain jeep tour companies in Ouray, Colorado began carrying passengers to the San Juan high country. At one point being the only jeep tour company in Ouray for almost 40 years, San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours continues to help people make their vacations be the best vacation they’ve ever had. “We drive…you look” is their motto, as you see firsthand the San Juan Mountains, waterfalls, lakes, aspen groves, fields of wildfowers, fabulous vista points on the old mining roads, and abandoned mine ruins and ghost towns. The tours guarantee exciting scenic fun with the best tour prices in the area. Both full day and half day tours are offered, with the typical daily tours varying in locations such as Yankee Boy Basin, Corkscrew Gulch, Red Mountain 3, Imogene Pass, Black Bear Pass, Alpine Loop, and Hurricane Pass. Day trips across Black Bear Pass to Telluride and to Lake City via Alpine Loop are available by arrangement. In 2006 it was their 60th anniversary, and when their competition raised their half-day rates to $60, they lowered their half-day tour rate to $49 to celebrate their 1946 founding year. Continuing the celebration of the fact that they are two generations (40 years) older than all the competition, they have been offering all their half-day tours for $59. Children 5 and under are free, and children 6-12 are half price. And when the back-country road conditions turn from rocky to snow-packed, San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours brings you snow-cat tours, snowmobile adventures, back-country skiing, sledding, snowshoeing and winter zip-lines. Exclusive mountaintop access for all your winter activities will make your trip to Ouray County an unforgettable experience.
