Durango Colorado – the Next Big Thing
Durango is Next Big Thing
Durango Colorado listed In October 2011 Issue of Outside Magazine as “the Next Big Thing”
The October 2011 issue of Outside Magazine listed Durango as one of the top 21 best towns of 2011.
The article stated, “Think of it as a border town. It has Southwest underpinnings—Mesa Verde National Park is only 47 miles to the west—but because it sits in the lush Animas River Valley, it serves as the geographic and cultural link between high desert and high country. A thousand miles of mountain-biking trails surround the city (pop. 16,900), the largest wilderness area in Colorado is just to the north (500,000-acre Weminuche Wilderness), two ski resorts are an easy drive away, and the paddle-friendly Animas flows almost down Main Street. At night, four local craft breweries appease the nearly 4,000 students at Fort Lewis College.”
