THE WORD IS OUT! Durango is the darling of the glossies this year. Fresh on the heels of being named the nation's top mountain biking mecca by Outside magazine, our fair city is again in the headlines. In its September issue, National Geographic Adventure tapped Durango as one of its top "Amazing Adventure Towns."
The write up reads, "For multisport adventurers seeking a home that has it all, Durango feels like the center of everything. Head uphill and you're in the Rockies, hiking, skiing, and ice climbing in legendary alpine terrain. Hit the lowlands and you're in the Southwest, with year-round access to mountain biking, Anasazi ruins, and slot canyons. Hang around town and you'll discover Main Street's Wild West character and a thriving community euphoric about life in America's premier outdoor hub."
In a curious move, National Geographic then goes on to plug the Southern Ute Indian Tribe's Three Springs development, noting that it could be an opportunity for would-be "Amazing Adventurers" to break into the market. "The project means more affordable housing in a market brimming with $500,000 homes; it also means even tighter competition for jobs in the service oriented economy.
The magazine named a total of 31 adventure towns with Durango topping the list of "Great Outdoor Meccas." Those of us lucky enough to be living in this Colorado paradise know that National Geographic is "right on." If your not here but want to be, give us a call.
