Durango Colorado Travel Guide

Durango Colorado

The two-million acre San Juan National Forest and the San Juan Mountains, the largest range in the Rockies, are popular destinations for mountain bikers, rafters, kayakers, horseback riders, rock climbers, hikers, campers, hunters, and fishermen. However, the city's biggest tourist draw is a nine-hour historic train ride in a vintage steam locomotive. The Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, which was used to haul precious metals in the 1880s, now takes tourists for a 47-mile, open-air journey through mountains and forests and past abandoned mines to historic Silverton and back.

Nestled in the Animas River Valley, Durango is surrounded by the San Juan Mountains. The Animas River runs through downtown and boasts gold medal fly fishing waters, and is well-known for whitewater rafting, kayaking, and canoeing. Durango is popular as an outdoor destination for activities like hiking, mountain biking, road biking, backpacking, rock climbing, hunting, off-roading, year-round fishing, kayaking, and golfing. Main Avenue, which is home to clothing boutiques, restaurants, newsstands, tourist and gift shops, mall, bars, lounges, and other businesses, cuts through Downtown Durango
