With every day this week forecast to be in the mid-to-high 90's, it's a good time to soak in some refreshing cool water. So how much time do I have?

Just a few minutes - The Animas River at Durango's 32nd St./Riverbend put-in. It's deep enough to swim and right in town.

An hour or two - Haviland Lake. Easy access and super scenic mountain views.

A half day or more - Spud Lake. The walk is totally worth it and it will definitely cool you off!
