Our favorite restaurant! Wonderful food and cocktails. Some of our favorite menu items: Green Mussel Curry (best dish in Durango if you ask Zack) and the KFC (Kentucky Fried Cauliflower). Reservation recommended.
Wonderful breakfast!
Head down to the river and you will find the riverwalk bike path. It runs the length of the entire town and is a great way to see the Animas river.
Great ~2.5 mi hike that overlooks Durango. Very steep in sections! The trail head is at the end of Ella Vita Ct. The trail system in this area can get a bit convoluted so I attached a link to a trail map. The map will take you on a nice loop but you can make the hike an out and back by simply going back the way you came after reaching the top of hogsback.
We highly recommend making your way out to Durango Hot Springs. They just renovated and although a bit pricey, it is a wonderfully relaxing place to have a soak. There is a food truck and bar there as well!
A beautiful way to see the mountains around Durango. Keep in mind that this is a whole day trip. There is an option to ride the train to Silverton and take a bus back to Durango (recommended). Reservations needed.
A few hours on the Animas River is a very fun way to spend an afternoon. Reservation needed. There are also many other raft guide companies in Durango if Mountain Waters is booked up.
