Family Vacations are all about making memories, whether it’s watching your child mountain bike for the first time, or remembering your childhood exploring the outdoors. We know how important family time is and Purgatory is the ideal destination for families looking to create a summer tradition filled with memories. Our Mountain is just big enough for everyone to get their fill, but small enough to keep an eye and ear on each member of the family. With one base village, where all the activities take place, it's easy to allow the children to go off and play and enjoy peace of mind. And, our scenery is unbeatable. We're sure you'll find more than a few family photo opportunities.
Family Tips:
Plan to spend a day in Purgatory Village and meet for lunch at Purgy's. This will allow everyone to do the activities they are interested in and come together to share their experiences over lunch.
The Alpine Slide is the perfect place for friendly competition. Pit dad against son, or mom against dad, and see who can fly down the track the fastest.
Try a new type of gear. We rent Digglers, which is a unique combination of a mountain bike and a skateboard.
Family Facts:
Purgatory was created by a local family that lived in Durango and wanted to be able to spend more time in the San Juan Mountains.
When you reach the top of the climbing wall you are almost a mile and a half above sea level!
