El Chepe

We will be there mid February but I suspect it will still be cold as just a little north of there the Grand Canyon has snow up top at that time of year. El Fuerte sounds more interesting then Los Mochis however we are bussing from Mazitlan so not sure is that can be done in a day without a stop on route for a night. Any suggestions?

Mazatlán to Los Mochis is 410 km/4.5 hours by car. Add another 85km/1+ hour for Los Mochis to El Fuerte. Should be done easily in a day by bus, without having to stay over anywhere. We haven't been to El Fuerte, so can't comment on the availability of hotels.
