Things to do in Durango

There are many ways to really plunge into the landscape and get the most from holidays in Durango, whether you like the fast paced river rafting or mountain biking, or enjoy taking in the scenery more slowly by hiking or kayaking. The Historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is a reminder of Durango’s historical reliance on the railways as like many towns in Colorado, its prosperity relied on mining. As you wind your way through the hills, pulled by the steam loco, it’s easy to see why they were just so important to the town.
