Durango is the kind of place that you daydream about… It is a town where you will find people that are authentic, warm, and down to earth. Durango offers endless recreational opportunities, rich history, and modern day luxuries. Located near the Four Corners junction with New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah; Durango sits at 6,512 feet, nestled between red sandstone bluffs in the vast Animas River Valley. To the north lie the peaks of the San Juan and Needles Mountains, which rise to an average elevation above 10,500 feet. To the west, arid desert lands, and to the south lays the southern border of the two million acre San Juan National Forest, and stark canyon country.
Durango is so packed with things to do that you will almost be overwhelmed when you arrive! The town is also blessed with 300 days of sunshine per year and season changes are not very drastic, making it the perfect vacation spot. Besides famous attractions, such as the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and the nearby National Parks, Durango offers many indoor and outdoor entertainment opportunities.
