A Durango Colorado Vacation Might be Just What You have been Dreaming About

Have you heard the joke that if they flattened out Colorado, then Texas would be the THIRD largest state in the US? You understand the origins of that boast when you visit the state. And if you are an outdoor recreation lover, then you will thrill to the excitement of a vacation in Durango, Colorado. Tucked down in the southwest corner of the state, Durango offers one activity after another to fill your days and nights. And when you have exhausted yourself with almost more fun than you can handle, you can comfortably retire to a Durango mountain resort or other Durango lodging found on Rentalo's website. Our listings include a wide variety of Durango vacation rentals, and one of them is sure to fit the bill as the home base for your trip of adventure.

So, what activities can you enjoy in Durango? It might be easier to answer what's NOT available. The name "Durango" means "water town," and the area is surrounded by the San Juan Mountains. So both activities in the rivers and in the heights are found here. The area is a popular destination for anglers, particularly those who enjoy fly fishing for trout in the clear mountain streams. You can go it alone or hire a guide to help you find the best locations. Golfers enjoy the many golf courses in the area, which offer spectacular mountain views not often found when teeing off. You may leave your Durango lodging to head into the surrounding mountains for rock climbing or mountain biking. When those activities leave you exhausted, you can enjoy the natural splendor on a jeep tour along mountain trails. Our Durango hotels and other Durango vacation rentals provide easy access to all these activities.

To truly appreciate the sweep and majesty of the area, you can enjoy a balloon ride which will take your breath away. Perhaps you will spot your Durango mountain resort from on high. Finding yourself out West, you can truly experience Durango by attending a local rodeo.

The town of Durango offers a vibrant nightlife as well. You can visit its many art galleries during the day, choose from among many local restaurants for dinner, and stay to spend a lively evening at one of the two casinos in town. At the end of the day, you will be grateful for the nearby comfort of one of our Durango hotels or other Durango vacation rentals.

Durango doesn't go into hibernation in the wintertime. Instead, the fun activities just take on a snowier hue. The local mountain trails provide marvelous snowmobiling opportunities, as well as a variety of ski runs for skiers of every proficiency.
