However, before coming to conclusions - take another look at our growing town. Durango has something enjoyable for everyone. This amazing fact is sure to perk your interest.

The Colorado College 2004 Rocky Mountain Report ranked La Plata County as the most livable “micropolitan” county in the eight-state Rocky Mountain region, based on a host of statistical data. But you don’t need information to figure that out. Just relax in the comforting spa at Trimble Hot Springs or stare into the moonlit night during a romantic sleigh ride with dinner included.

Whether you are old or young, cosmopolitan or rural, looking for a thrilling adventure or seeking out a tranquilizing getaway, Durango is sure to embrace your needs. You can visit “Old Town” Durango or tour the amazing, top notch, Seven Wonders of the World, Mesa Verde National Park. The Honey Factory will send your taste buds zinging!!! Take a hike up Animas Mountain for a panoramic view of the beautiful town of Durango.

Tucked away in the mountains, you can escape into the snowy wonderland of Durango Mountain Resort. On the lighter side, you can stroll down Historic Downtown Durango while taking in the marvelous art galleries and museums, superlative restaurants, and historic hotels.
