To the north of Durango is one of the finest regions of the Rocky Mountains. It is the Southwestern most region where the Rocky Mountains rise from the desert floor of the great Southwestern Canyon Lands of the Southwestern United States. The Southwestern Rocky Mountains are just as spectacular as the Canadian Rocky Mountains and have many of the same characteristics, The big difference is that this region is much further south so the climate is naturally warmer and the winter season is shorter. The vegitation is just as beautiful with Blue Spruce, multiple types of Pine and Aspen trees. The rigid mountain peaks have extreme vertical rise just as the Canadian Rockies. The streams, rivers, lakes and unusual water features of the Southwestern Rockies are every bit as spectacular as any other region of the Rocky Mountains.

To the west of Durango is the most dramatic display of rock formations you will ever see! Stop at Mesa Verde National Park to see ancient remains of the Anasazi Indians which will completely humble you. Continuing west outcroppings of rock and red rock formations begin in Southwestern Colorado and as you travel west into Southern Utah the become extreme. Moab, Utah is only 2 1/2 hours from Durango and the drive is fabulous! Moab is a good hub location for your Canyonland adventures, and you will absolutely love it there - everything about it! Rent Jeeps, take guided tours, raft the Colorado Whitewater, bike, hike and have great fun in the sun. Head further west to Bryce and Zion Canyons and you will freak out, to say the least!!! Then head on down to the Grand Canyon for the Grand Finale - you will never see anything like this for the rest of your life.
