Food Scene

This place is the epitome of the definition of a dive bar and if you have kids, we really recommend you call your order in to pick-up rather than dining in. That being said, their pizza is amazing! It takes a while for a pizza (45 minutes) so you’ll have to plan ahead a little, but it’s worth it! It’s the white building just south of our complex so very easy to stop by and pick up your slice of heaven

This restaurant is pricey, but the incredible menu and views make it well worth it! They tend to fill up in the evenings so reservations are recommended. It’s right up the road less than 5 minutes away at the Silverpick Lodge. If they have trout on their menu when you’re there (it’s seasonal), we highly recommend it!

This is an awesome little cafe about 15 minutes down Hwy. 550 in Hermosa. They have a great breakfast menu and a coffee shop for your morning coffee fix! They are open for breakfast and lunch but check their website for hours. We recommend sitting outside on the patio if it’s warm enough!

Parks & Nature

Castle Rock is the large cliff face you see directly out the North Windows of the townhome. The hike is a fairly strenuous 3 miles to to the top (6 miles round trip), but is totally worth it! There are not many really steep portions, it is just a steady climb to the top. The views from the top are stunning! Plus, it starts right across the street so you don’t even have to get in the car to get started! More details: http://kidfriendlydurango.com/castle-rock-hike-durango-co/

This is one of the best (and seemingly lesser known) hikes around Durango and an especially good kid-friendly hike. While it is an easy hike the whole way, it doesn’t matter how far you go – It starts off beautiful and continues the entire way! There are waterfalls, water crossings, tons of wildflowers and for the fly-fishers among you, some great spots to cast forbrookies and cutthroats.

Essentials

The Needles Country store is the small shop across the street from the townhome - It has all the basics so if you forget something, you can just jog across the street (look both ways please!) and pick it up!

There is a liquor store across the street that has a surprisingly good selection of local beer, wine and liquors! Prices are similar to the ones in town and we'd appreciate if you helped keep them in business :)

Arts & Culture

https://powsci.org/ The Powerhouse Science Center is an amazing place of discovery! Complete with a treehouse kids can climb up, this “museum” will entertain kids mentally and physically! Our son loves floating ping pong balls in the air. My favorite is the topographic sand – I can’t even explain how awesome this exhibit is – Go check it out for yourself – I think you’ll have a hard time figuring out if you or the kids had more fun! Hours vary but typically open every day except Tuesday.
