| Black Canyon of the Gunnison |
The Black Canyon of the Gunnison's unique and spectacular landscape was formed slowly by the action of water and rock scouring down through hard Proterozoic crystalline rock. No other canyon in North America combines the narrow opening, sheer walls, and startling depths offered by the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. |

| Durango |
Known for its historic aura, Durango's biggest tourist attraction is the town itself. Located in the mountainous region of Southwest Colorado, Durango is situated at an elevation of 6500ft. Durango means "water town", and was so named because of the beautiful Animas River which flows through the city. Durango, unlike many other towns in the western US, was not founded as a result of pioneers looking for gold. In fact, much like today, the town was based around the railroad.
The city was incorporated in 1881 by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad to serve the San Juan mining district. In the San Juan Mountains, mining had quickly developed and the town of Animas City, about two miles north of the future site of Durango, was founded earlier in 1876. Durango quickly flourished, as the railroad offered jobs and business opportunities. In the past 100 years, Durango has grown and changed with the times, growing more rapidly in recent years as big-city dwellers move here to find small-town life in a beautiful setting. |
