The city
What to expect from Durango.
Southwest Colorado town on the Animas River, founded by the railroad in 1880. Main Avenue still has brick buildings from that era, and the station hosts the narrow-gauge steam train that climbs the Animas Canyon to Silverton. It’s the base for Mesa Verde, about 60 km away, and for the Purgatory ski area.
