Welcome to Durango Colorado!

It's time to forget the 9 to 5 rat race. Relax. Kick back. Soak up a gorgeous change of scenery. Let a mountain adventure town relieve all your stress.

Come to Durango to unwind...stroll down historic Main Street, enjoy dinner at delectable restaurants, listen to music amidst the mountains.

Come to Durango to challenge your "everyday"...climb rocks, raft on the Animas River, 4-wheel over 11,000 foot passes.

Come to Durango to try on the Old West...horseback ride into the sunset, let cowboys serenade you while you eat an authentic wrangler supper.

When you come to Durango, you won't want to leave!

I know we never do. We bought property in Durango Colorado when I was 12, moved out when I was 16. If I had my way, I’d still be there.

But, as fate would have it, I met a Minnesotan, fell for him hard, and married him when he promised he’d bring me back to Durango in five years.

It’s been twenty as of July 2006…

Now with two kids, we come out once (more often twice) a year to visit my family (the lucky ones that stayed put). For Christmas 2000, we gave ourselves a piece of property just east of Durango. Every time we come out, we do a little more work on it. Soon, we’ll be back where we all want to be.

Durango Colorado is the place to be in Southwest Colorado. If it isn't in Durango, it's very close by. Anasazi ruins, a reptile park, an old mining town...you name it, it's probably here.

Do you want to ride history?

The Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad runs from Durango to Silverton (50 miles north) three times a day all summer. At least one train per day runs part way up all winter, as long as it can get through the snow.

Maybe you like to ski. Durango Mountain Resort is right up the road. Cross-country ski trails, snowmobile trails, downhill ski runs and spectacular scenery. What more could you ask?

That’s just the beginning of all the things you can do in Durango.

What if you fall in love with the place?

Stay!

That's what we're planning to do soon. You can too.

Come back often. I'll be updating this site frequently with more and more information.

Any way you look at it, Durango Colorado is a great place to be... for a week, or forever!
