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!
