Durango Colorado

At the edge of San Juan National Forest, Durango quietly offers residents and visitors an unmatched slice of life: infused with Native American heritage and the spirit of the Old West, and set amidst desert, forest, mountains and flatlands, Durango refreshes the mind and body. Perhaps that’s why the people who call Durango home are so darn friendly…they live their days out breathing clean air and feeling nature’s powerful presence nearby.

Durango’s best attractions are its natural features. Mesa Verde National Park is nearby, as is the San Juan National Forest. Vallecito Lake is a popular recreation spot and Durango Mountain Resort is a preferred ski destination. Trimble Hot Springs offer a special kind of relaxation to weary locals and visitors.

While large in spirit, Durango is relatively small in size. The town encompasses about 6 square miles in area and houses about 16,000 residents, accounting for one-third of the La Plata County’s population.
