Review & FAQ:

Formerly a mining town, Durango is a charming small community surrounded by mountains and canyons. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the beautiful outdoors; the local is usually open for skiing and snowboarding just in time for the long weekend, but visitors who arrive before the snow flies will still be able to hike and mountain bike. If you have enough time, another big attraction here is the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad , a vintage train that will take you on a scenic 9-hour journey out to the town of Silverton and back.
