2-Hour Jeep Tours in Telluride

A waterfall, a pass summit, a ghost town or the last light on the peaks, all without giving up your afternoon.

Available 2-hour tours in Telluride

Two-hour Jeep tours are built for guests who want the high country without spending the whole day on the road. In two hours from your door in Telluride you can stand at the base of Bridal Veil Falls, summit Ophir Pass at 11,789 feet, walk the ruins of Tomboy or Alta, or watch the sun drop behind the San Juans.

These are the easiest tours we run and the best fit for families with young kids, guests on a tight schedule, or anyone who wants a first taste of Telluride before committing to a half day. Front-door pickup anywhere in the Town of Telluride is included on every route.

Ophir Pass is the only two-hour tour that summits a high mountain pass. Alta Ghost Town is the gentlest ride, with no shelf roads at all. Bridal Veil Falls is the most popular, and the Summer Sunset Tour is the one guests book for their first night in town.
