The neighboring area is rife with historic sights to explore and it is also packed with activities that perfectly complement your vacation experience.
Let’s start with the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. If you’ve never experienced the old school feel of traveling on a classic coal fired, steam-powered locomotive, listen up. This train makes its way through the railroads that at one point in history were used by miners, cowboys and settlers from the old west, it’s an amazingly classic experience! As the train chugs along you’re going to see some captivating and breathtaking canyons located within the serenely remote San Juan National Forest wilderness.
Nature lovers should also visit Mesa Verde National Park, a designated United Nations World Heritage Site acclaimed for its stunning cliff dwellings and its 600+ years worth of intriguing mesa occupation.
