Laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere for good food and brews. Try their burgers, pizza, and famous cajun boil. They're open late, so we've been known to pop in for a meal after coming off Red Mountain pass in summer jeeping months.

Our new favorite sushi spot. It's tiny and seating can be difficult, but it's the only place in town to get pho and vermicelli bowls! The Southwest roll and ceviche are amazing.

This is arguably the nicest restaurant in Durango. Best kept for special occasions as it's pretty pricey. However, the menu is unique and delicious, and the rooftop experience is memorable.

This is one of our favorites. The food really is quite exceptional and family friendly. Not your everyday pub grub. Our favorites include The Salad (add beets!) and the amazing bratwurst on the menu.

Box Canyon is a wonderful place to visit, with a walk down to the base of its dramatic waterfall, as well as to the top, onto a suspension bridge overlooking the canyon. http://www.ouraycolorado.com/things-to-do/box-canon-falls. The drive from Durango to Silverton is one of the most amazing experiences you will ever have. It is called the "million dollar highway" for a reason.
