We went to Durango last summer in July with kids 11-15. We didn't fish and without fishing there was plenty to do to keep us busy for 4 days straight between the train ride, rafting, and general sight seeing. I would recommend the trip.

I spend a lot of time in that area each summer. With kids I'd probably choose Pagosa from the two. Or you could choose Durango which is about halfway in between the two, and makes either one an easy day trip.

More to do in Durango but my preference is to stay in Pagosa and make day trips to Durango and Silverton. Good fishing within striking distance of both. I think the river below Silverton has cleaned up since the spill. I like the fly shacks in Pagosa. There's tubing there as well as disc golf and regular golf. I like the trails better around Pagosa.

Off road “Jeep” trails?

Went to Pagosa in July for a week last summer and it rained every evening washing everything out, not a huge fan of the town either. Much bigger fan of Park City, went there the year before and caught fish after fish on the Provo.

Ouray is absolutely beautiful with lots to do, jeep trails plentiful so you can see alot on the cheap. We been there twice and will go there again I hope soon! Or take your utvs and go explore! Lots of mines and old buildings on the trails. If I remember right you can take a trail all the way to telluride over the mountains

We are doing Ouray, for the Jeep trails.

We did Telluride for our honeymoon years ago and jeeped for days between Ouray, Silverton. blackbear and Imogene pass are a lot of fun.

most of the fishing around Pagosa is private... except the water that runs downtown. They feed dogfood and stock... and those fish get hammered. You can get a river guide, but that typically isn't good for kiddo's. I'm not sure about Ouray from a fishing standpoint, but it's prettier than Pagosa.

No, mostly hiking trails.

Tagged, I've been thinking about taking the family on this type of trip. Great info so far!

There is not a bad choice between the two. Have fun.
