Things To Do
Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad
Get ready for a truly unique experience! Voted #1 scenic train by USA Today Reader's Choice, the ride behind a historic engine traveling through the ruggedly beautiful San Juan National Forest, while observing awesome mountain vistas is truly a thrill!
Diamond Belle Saloon
Located inside The Strater Hotel, the Diamond Belle Saloon is Durango's only Old West Saloon. Once home to the Strater-Thorpe Drugstore, The Diamond Belle was restored to its saloon greatness in 1957. Offering delicious meals, cocktails, and live music this gem (one of our favorite spots) can't be missed.
James Ranch Grill
Beyond farm to table, the James Ranch Grill is “table on the farm” by sourcing its main organic ingredients from the James Ranch itself. The livestock feed only on the green pastures of the 400 acre ranch.
Durango Hot Springs Resort & Spa
Durango Hot Springs Resort was created as an extension of what has always existed here in the incredible healing properties of the natural mineral hot springs. The abundant water comes from deep underground and reaches the surface at over 120 degrees. New amenities include a family area with a swimming pool and four mineral soaking tubs, and a newly opened adult only area that includes 10 mineral soaking tubs.
