Review of Durango, Colorado


Great for an active lifestyle
Star Rating - 7/2/2007
There is so much to do in Durango. Whether it's hiking, skiing, or biking in the mountians or kayacking, fishing or tubing in the River, it always seems like there is something to do all year round. There are some great hiking trails just on the edge of town and the city is basically surrounded by undeveloped land. The majority of the population is mid-20's because it is a college town. However, that's where it's downfall is. Outside of being in school, there are not that many jobs outside of the resturant, recreation or landscaping industry. At least not enough jobs to cover the high cost of living. It's a great place to go if you have money, or an even better place to visit.
