All Aboard! Durango & Silverton Railroad Guide
Welcome to Durango, Colorado!
With more than 16,000 residents, Durango is the largest town in southwest Colorado. It's also certainly one of the happiest.
Locals are fond of saying that those who choose to live in Durango do so not for fame and fortune, but for
the superb quality of life.
Although Durango is a relatively small town, it has many claims to fame: from
"Mountain Bike Mecca" to "Best Water Town in the West;" "Best Scenic Train Ride" on the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad to "most friendly" vacation and ski town;
superb restaurants and dining to most outdoor
adventures! It's the Western town you dream about. The scenery is awe-inspiring and the town is filled with Colorado's Western heritage.
The possibilities are endless in Durango. Watch a melodrama or wild-west gun fight, soar
through the aspens on a Tree Top Adventure, hike miles of mountain or in-town trails, raft the
Animas River, or ski at Durango Mountain Resort. We guarantee that you will find magnificent
mountain scenery, a historic downtown, inspiring art galleries, delicious cuisine and 300 plus days of sunshine. Experience Durango's vibrant art scene with a visit to any of Durango's art galleries,
museums, or cultural centers. From local artisans to fine performing arts, from public murals and sculptures to intricate Western jewelry, get inspired by Durango's rich arts and culture scene.
Durango hosts a variety of special events throughout the year. You'll discover great food, wine and art festivals, plus events celebrating biking, rafting, snowfall and all things unique to Durango! Be sure to check out the Durango events calendar on page 36 for a colorful mix of Colorado events.
