This Rocky Mountain Colorado vacation townhouse sits in the heart of downtown Durango on the corner of 6th Avenue & 1st Street, only a few minutes walk to Historic Main Street. Durango Mountain Resort (Purgatory) is only a 25 minute drive.

Durango is located in beautiful Southwestern Colorado in La Plata County. Located in the Animas River Valley and surrounded by the San Juan Mountains, Durango is close to the Four Corners area, where Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona meet.  The city of Durango comprises 4.37 square miles, while La Plata County is 1,700 square miles.  

La Plata County Airport (DRO) Located 10 miles from Downtown Durango is served by Delta, United, US Airways (formally America West), Mesa Airlines, Frontier Airlines along with numerous vacation charter flights operated by Southwest Airlines and others.

The Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) is located on the Western Slope of Colorado (110 Miles from Durango). The Airport is served year round by United Express operated by Skywest to Denver. Summer service is provided by Continental Airlines to Houston. Winter service expands to Houston, Newark and Los Angeles operated by Continental Airlines and service to Dallas and Chicago with American Airlines.

The Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) is located 215 miles from Durango. This is by far the easiest way of getting to Durango, via air. Heading north from ABQ the drive is scenic, peaceful and relatively free of traffic. The drive will take a very reasonable 3 hours. Rentals cars in ABQ are generally at least 50% less than Montrose or Durango.  

Climate

La Plata County's climate is considered ideal thanks to moderate temperatures and distinctly beautiful seasons. Snowfall at the higher elevations is typically great for skiing and in the towns, such as Durango at 6,512 feet of elevation, snow removal is only an occasional chore of manageable size. In summer temperatures seldom climb above the high eighties and spring is characterized by afternoon showers which bathe the land and stimulate verdant growth.

Fall brings the promise of "Indian Summer" and clear, dry, cool days - perfect for hiking or driving in the mountains to view the golden leaves of the Aspen and the dark red and orange hues of the Gamble Oaks. Winters are generally mild, sunny and dry with seldom a day of temperatures even close to zero.
