Several boondocking spots along here, zero cell service and about 50ish minutes from Durango.Hey all. Looks like we're putting together a fairly last-minute trip to CO (leaving in a couple weeks) that will include Durango as our main destination. It's a place I've heard about for pretty much as long as mountain bikes have been around but I've never been. Doing research but figured I'd tap the monkey knowledge for ideas on rides, places to stay, good eats, etc. We'll be in a camper van so curious about camping ideas, but also thinking we'll want a short term, dog- and bike-friendly rental for a few days. I realize it's a pretty open-ended request, but let me have it! Must-rides, over-rated "don't bother" rides, places to seek out, places to avoid, etc. Any help appreciated!
The only thing I have is that Phil’s World is fun, but hugely overrated. Most locals I know that live in DGO really only go there when the higher country is weathered out.Hey all.

Just rode Stagecoach for the first time a couple weeks ago, as a little loop from the Hermosa TH by climbing Hotel Draw road I think? Anycrap, Stagecoach was fun as hell. I believe @6thElement and his missus liked it quite a lot as well... they did segment 26 as a loop by climbing Bolam Pass if I'm not mistaken. And he mentioned that we could have just ridden back to our camp had we gone the other direction at the top of Kennebec. Ha!It’s a monster shuttle, but segment 27 of the Colorado trail starting at Kennebec and ending behind or at Purg is my favorite high country ride. Descend from the CT down stagecoach (west cross).
Everyone I know down that way loves Haflin, I need to ride it.I don’t really like it but I seem to be the minority, shuttle haflin.
Might hit you up next time I head that way if you're open to it, and if I remember.I live in the area. The other suggestions above are good too.
I think I'm scarred from the first time I rode it, and rode a big loop that included a bunch of slogging on awkwardly rough XC trails way out from the main parking lot that were kinda no fun. The closer in stuff that's smoother and turny/pumpy is much better and can be pretty fun I'll admit... but I still think it's overrated. I also think Buffalo Creek is overrated even though I always have fun when I ride there.Edit: I’m not sure what the hype train is feeding people to have them end up hating on Phil’s but I have a lot of fun there. It’s basically a huge pump track. There is very little vert, and it is in the desert. It’s not very technical but it is very fast.
Nope.@Full Trucker , does that ‘one guy’ you referred to happen to live in Salida, and have a name that rhymes with Lyin’ or something like that?
Just a guess.
Awesome ride, but requires long shuttle recovery time.Molas Pass/Engineer/etc. stuff - you won't regret it.
I never said dude, my guy.Aha, well, that dude must have issues as well.
Absolute BakeryWe stayed here in Mancos (pronounced Mank-US) State Park with our camper, and it was excellent. Tons of really shaded campsites, reservoir right there. Did day trips from there th Mesa Verde Ruins, Phil’s World (met up with a friend who lives near there). Found some fun restaurants in Mancos, cool little town.

Please do. I agree that buff creek is lameMight hit you up next time I head that way if you're open to it, and if I remember.
UAL and I believe American were both flying mainline aircraft out of DRO last time I was there, just a couple months ago. Not sure how many a day.@OGRipper we liked Cream Bean Berry for ice cream and Fired Up Pizzeria when we stayed there a couple years ago.
The area around Engineer Mountain is beautiful - we dragged the Crosstrek a surprising distance down those OHV roads and did some hiking there. I've got some hiking recommendations if you guys decide to leave the bikes at home.
Loved Durango. We'd be considering moving there if it wasn't a thousand miles from a decent airport.
I would have liked to have fitted that ride in while we were there recently. Not sure I could face the shuttle up to Kennebec two days In a row though after doing Ken to Junction.It’s a monster shuttle, but segment 27 of the Colorado trail starting at Kennebec and ending behind or at Purg is my favorite high country ride. Descend from the CT down stagecoach (west cross).
Hm. We may have to give it a second look. Still eying the 'Springs as well, but we haven't really made any decisions.UAL and I believe American were both flying mainline aircraft out of DRO last time I was there, just a couple months ago. Not sure how many a day.
