Amy’s Durango Guidebook
Fun things to do!
In addition to the indoor and outdoor pools heated year round at the Lodge, here is a list of some ideas for multiple ages and times of year and weather conditions. I am not in charge of your safety or the safety of your children with these recommendations. Please google for details.
Also, Covid changes many of these things. It’s your job to call and google current laws and limitations.
