Durango
Durango is set within a striking and diverse topography characterized by its elevation of 6,512 feet above sea level and its position in the Animas River Valley. The city lies at the foothills of the rugged La Plata Mountains to the west and is flanked by the San Juan Mountains to the north and east. This mountainous terrain features numerous peaks over 14,000 feet, along with other high summits and vast wilderness areas, providing dramatic landscapes and opportunities for outdoor recreation. The surrounding geography is marked by steep slopes, deep canyons, and the flowing Animas River, which carves through the landscape, contributing to the area's natural beauty and ecological diversity. The terrain not only shapes the local climate but also plays a significant role in the outdoor activities that draw visitors year-round, from hiking and skiing to mountain biking.
