Home to the nearly 3,000-square-mile San Juan National Forest, there’s a lot of pristine wilderness to play in here.

Durango makes the ideal basecamp for a day trip to nearby Mesa Verde National Park. Stay at Lightner Creek Campground. It puts you an easy 5 miles from picturesque downtown Durango. This 27-acre campground offers fully furnished cabins, lodges, and rustic camper cabins. There’s a great RV park, and you’re welcome to pitch your tent next to the creek.
The watery heart of Durango is the Animas River. Its rushing waters are a kayaker/whitewater rafter’s dream. To sleep as close as possible to the magical Animas, stay at Durango North Riverside KOA. You’re surrounded by awe-inspiring mountain views and majestic ponderosa pine.
The Durango area is mountain biking paradise where you’ll find endless single-track trails, including the moderate Horse Gulch. This 2-mile out-and-back ride is accessible from downtown Durango.
One not-to-be-missed sight in Southwest Colorado is Chimney Rock National Monument. This once-home to Ancestral Puebloans preserves 200 ancient dwellings and sacred buildings. After you’ve explored the excavated ruins, head east toward Bayfield. Keep going on Highway 160 East until you hit Pagosa Springs, site of the legendary hot springs.
