Top 10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Durango, Colorado (CO)
Once a frontier mining town, Durango draws thousands of tourists year-round for the myriad outdoor recreational activities and scenic beauty. Mountain bikers, rafters, kayakers, horseback riders, rock climbers, hikers, campers, hunters and fishermen are drawn to the two-million acre San Juan National Forest and to the San Juan mountains, the largest range in the Rockies. But the city's biggest tourist draw is a nine-hour historic train ride in a vintage steam locomotive. The Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, which hauled precious metals in the 1880s, now takes tourists for a 47-mile, open-air journey through mountains and forests and past abandoned mines to historic Silverton and back. Children and train buffs will relish the chance to climb into a locomotive and pore over railroad memorabilia at the railroad's museum. Skiers flock to the Durango Mountain Resort in winter, which also offers hiking, fishing, rafting and horseback riding in warmer months. Slow down your pace with a stroll past splendidly restored Victorian buildings in historic Downtown Durango and wind up a very active weekend in a local brewpub or saloon.

After tasting a couple of spirits, my wife chose a silver mountain mule with their gin and I had the Jack Dempsey with vodka. Their spirits are very bold and flavorful. Their sitting area outside was quiet and relaxing.

My wife and I were able to book an appointment last minute when another place canceled on us. We did the 90 min couples massage and it was wonderful. After five days of skiing, the massage soothe all my aching muscles and I loved the neck traction at the end of the session! I highly recommend going in to get worked on. Great therapists and I felt very comfortable in a very clean and professional atmosphere!! We will definitely revisit the next time we're in Durango!
