This is a very cool national park that you can drive through with spots to see or do hikes
Moab is about 3 hours away, but there is Arches national park and Canyonlands State park. You also have extreme side by sides and sky diving for risk takers!
Fantastic restaurant with good food and drinks
Very cool hike near Durango with beautiful views!
White water rafting and jeep tours off the Animas River!
Telluride is a beautiful old west town that you can get to in about 2 hours from Durango. Your trip will take you through the million dollar highway, which is a gorgeous (and slightly scary) drive through the mountains!
