Durango Historic Downtown
Durango
A small frontier-style railway town with Victorian buildings, craft breweries and outdoor gear shops lining Main Street. It's the region's hub of daily life.
Main Street runs north from the train station and is lined with historic buildings, including the 1887 Strater Hotel and the 1898 Continental Divide Bar. The Animas River Trail is great for cycling, and rafting is popular in summer. Nearby are hot springs and the Purgatory ski resort. It's about 70 km from Cortez and makes a good base for visitors arriving by train.
