The Anasazi Heritage Center

Southwest Colorado's premier archaeological museum, featuring the Ancestral Puebloans (Anasazi) and other Native American cultures, including two archaeological sites and a research collection of over 3 million artifacts.

Reviewed By Erin B - Sarnia, Canada

$3 entry per adult to enter. Small number at artifacts but all great quality. Good information about the archaeology of the area. The volunteer was very friendly and provided us with great information about other sites to visit in the area. The walk up to the ruins was an easy slope and paved. Beautiful ruins to see. Also a great view of the river. Few picnic tables near the parking lot.

Rio Grande Southern Railroad Museum.

Reviewed By Ducky18969

A nice informative free museum right in the center of the town of Dolores, Colorado. Learn about the Galloping Goose rail service that brought mail and supplies to the miners and explorers in the area. Ask questions and learn from informed railroad enthusiasts at the museum. On special days take a "short" ride on Galloping Goose which stands on the train tracks outside the museum.

McPhee Reservoir

Reviewed By hfulghum - Shoreline

A nice spot to cool off on the drive to or from Durango, this reservoir is always cool and safe to swim in. At least stop on a hot day and twiddle your toes in the water.

Dolores River Brewery

Reviewed By 808JimP - Cortez, Colorado, United States

A bright spot in Dolores. Drop in for a mug of their fresh brewed beers and a fire oven pizza. Never know when they are going to have live bands on the patio. A great place to have a Friday night date night.
