Hop on the Durango Train

Colorado is consistently beautiful and filled with attractive outdoor opportunities across the board, but different towns and regions definitely offer different vacation scenarios. Durango exists as a world of its own, and it’s a world you and your family would be wise to become acquainted with.

Art, adventure, skiing and history are just the beginning. Durango came into existence as a railroad town (you can still ride the train for some authentic sightseeing, and don’t miss the accompanying museum) and maintains a devotion to simpler times. With the San Juan Mountains framing the scene and a sense of lightness in the air (maybe it’s the high-altitude), this will quickly become the scene of a banner vacation.

A healthy yearly snowfall (somewhere around 260 inches) as well as summertime high temperatures reaching the 80’s should shed some light on why this is a popular year-round destination. From biking to gliding, shopping to dining, Durango is nothing if not well-rounded.

Living the low-key life of the Old West will come naturally to everyone in your group. Forget about email and homework for a few days and just enjoy the simple life…not that you’ll be roughing it, exactly. After perusing the eye-catching list of vacation rentals you’ll surely end up in one that’s well-equipped and perfectly comfortable. With amenities like a ski-out patio, washer and dryer, fold-out couch and a fireplace, you’ll feel pretty lucky to have ventured to the “wilds” of Southwestern Colorado.
