5 days in Durango Itinerary

Explore hidden gems such as Bachelor Syracuse Mine Tour and Piedra River Trail. Kids will appreciate attractions like River Rafting & Tubing and Majestic Dude Ranch. Change things up with these side-trips from Durango: Ouray (Cascade Falls Park & Ouray Alchemist Museum), Ridgway Visitors Center and Railroad Museum (in Ridgway) and Pagosa Springs (Diamond Hitch Stables & Rocky Mountain Wildlife Park). There's still lots to do: kick your exploration up a notch at some of the top local zipline courses and adventure parks, trek along Rim Trail/ Campus Loop, see the interesting displays at Durango Wildlife Museum and Fish Hatchery, and surround yourself with nature on Durango Dog Ranch.
