As the site of the first ever mountain bike world championships, Durango can be seen as one of the hometowns of adventure tourism. This quaint former frontier mining town, situated at the foot of the San Juan mountains, prides itself with having some of the best mountain biking in the state. And how could it not? Serving as the access point to the two-million acre San Juan national forest, aspiring adventurers have for decades been drawn to the town for its hundreds of miles of glorious singletrack through colorful and diverse natural terrain. In the mood for a casual cruise in the desert breeze? Ride the flowy loops of the family-friendly Spur Line Trails at Three Springs. Wish to test your quads and feel the mountain greenery? Opt for the panoramic climbs and blood-pumping descents of the Engineer Mountain trail. Durango has something for everyone, and once you visit, you won’t want to leave!
