COME TO LIFE Durango In the Four Corners Region where Colorado meets Utah, Arizona and New Mexico, Durango is surrounded by the rich history of the American West. The town offers a diverse range of experiences, from Old West heritage and ancient ruins to arts, culture, adventure sports and the famed Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. With nonstop flights from Denver and select U.S. cities, it’s an accessible hub for discovering Colorado’s southwestern landscapes. Silverton Nestled between two rugged mountain passes 48 miles (77 kilometres) north of Durango, Silverton has been a beloved destination since its mining days, especially for those pursuing new heights outdoors — from off-road trails and backcountry camping to hiking, fishing and more. The entire town is a National Historic Landmark District, preserving its mining-era ambiance, with landmarks like the iconic Christ of the Mines Shrine and the Silverton Museum, which is housed in a 1800s-era jail. 16 COLORADO .
