It felt like a smaller outlet store. Come to find out that they do have a larger store in Durango. The sales person was very kind and extremely knowledgable! He knew about a number of different products. They carry a number of clothing items for the area, nothing terribly fancy, just the basics. They also carried some hiking items and a very small amount of things that young children might buy! What I really loved was just as you enter there is an animal tracking display! Just wonderful for the little ones and visitors that are not familiar with the local animals! Someone really did good when they put these displays together! Just checking out these displays is worth it's weight in gold! Nicely done Backcountry Experience! How fun for an outdoor adventure store!

As the days of consumerism continues to move towards online shopping, it is paramount to support any local business of recognition. BCE is one of those establishments. Not only is their inventory exceptional, but their personnel is also top-tier. Their associates have the wherewithal to remediate any issue, whether it be a repair to gear or replacement (if required and possible) to selling of items that are nice to see in person.

She then had an employee named Page spend another 15-20 minutes with us going over the necessary gear to hike Via Ferrata. Very knowledgeable and accommodating to somewhat novice adventurers.

Bottom Line: Locally owned store selling quality gear for the outdoors…read more Shortly after landing in Durango my husband realized he forgot his sunglasses so we headed to Gardenswartz Outdoors to see what we could find. The store doesn't have any glamorous displays but it was well organized with great brands like Toad & Co, Darn Tough, Prana, Camelback, etc. I enjoyed looking around while my husband picked out a new pair of Smith sunglasses. The store has gear for men, women and kids. The store is located in historic Durango so that means parking is mostly limited to street parking. We were in town on a busy Saturday so we ended up parking quite far away but it was worth it.

I'll definitely visit here if I return to Pagosa Springs!

Why sure, yelp should write about a number of places. The more information you have the better decisions and choices you the reader, can make! This is a little t-shirt store at the bottom of the ski resort named Purgatory Ski Resort just north of Durango, Colorado! During the summer they are open from 9am-5pm. The H2H t-shirt store is right next to the open court yard amongst all of the other fun shops! One thing to be said is that there are some great looking flower barrels and hanging flower baskets in front of the store! The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you have some time and get ready to laugh, most of their t-shirts will put a grin on your face. Some truly silly t-shirts, but so worth a great laugh. Fun t-shirt shop to check out!
