Durango
Durango is in the southwestern part of the Rocky Mountains state of Colorado. It is perhaps most famous for the historic narrow-gauge railroad that connects Durango with Silverton. The surrounding landscape of Durango is diverse, spanning from red sandstone bluffs of the Animas River Valley to jagged peaks of the San Juan Mountains, a few of which rise to elevations over 14,000 feet.
Historic Downtown features numerous restaurants, shops and galleries. Ft Lewis College is located just up the hill from downtown. Other attractions include museums, golf, multiple music events, a recreation center.
World class skiing and mountain biking are close by at Purgatory as well as some of the best mountain golf at the Glacier Club.
