Southwest Colorado
Arguably one of the most beautiful areas of the country, Southwest Colorado amazes and astounds both visitors to the state and locals who have lived there for years. Grassy meadows, craggy mountain peaks, hot springs, raging rivers, and brush-covered mesas are only a taste of what the region has to offer. Durango and its surrounding cities, such as Bayfield, are known for their world class mountain biking and vicinity to a true Colorado treasure, Lake Vallecito. Offering various recreational opportunities like boating, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, hunting, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing, Lake Vallecito is one of southwest Colorado’s most cherished, yet unknown, destinations. The towns of Cortez and Mancos are both situated outside the Mesa Verde National Park, one of the world’s most complete preservations of Anasazi, Ancestral Pueblo people, cliff dwellings. Activities such as fishing in mountain streams, biking on dirt roads and trails, hiking in through canyons and exploring the area’s archeological ruins are everyday opportunities for those who live in and visit the area. Telluride and Ouray are both located in the San Juan Mountains. The rugged steep terrain makes these areas a thrill-seekers paradise offering world class skiing, off roading, and hiking. Pagosa Springs is located near the Wolf Creek ski area, which regularly logs the largest annual snowfall in Colorado. |
