Durango is a lifestyle as much as it is a place. People from all walks of life are proud to call Durango their home. The Durango lifetsytle has to do with the people, the landscape, the food, the culture, the climate and much more.

Durangoans enjoy all four seasons in compelling contrast from warm, radiant summers to mild, snow-laden winters. Spring is all about renewal as the snow-pack begins to melt from the Needles and La Plata Mountains, pouring into the Animas River Valley, seen exquisitely from the Cliffs.

The local community comes out in various events like the weekly farmer's market and celebrations such as the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic, the Durango Independent Film Festival and SnowDown, Durango's winter celebration.

The local community is all about "play", enjoying two local golf courses, hundreds of miles of trails for hiking and biking, sports, camping, jeeping, hunting, skiing at Durango Mountain Resort, river rafting, fly fishing and much more.

Local dining is in abundance, running the gamut from upscale restauraunts to local pubs and a variety of ethnic foods. Durango has more restaurants per capita than San Fransisco! This community is home to myraid breweries as well.

If it's a fun, healthy community you seek, Durango is the place.
