Ride on.
In Durango and ready to go tubing? Grab the trolley instead of wasting time finding a parking space near the Animas River. Tubers can park in south Durango and catch the free trolley with a deflated tube — no inflated tubes allowed on the trolley — and ride to the 29th Street river access, where they can fill their tubes with free compressed air at Memorial Park.
