Downtown Durango at Your Doorstep. Wyndham Durango, located at the heart of Durango's most popular attractions, is your best resort choice to relive Old West Americana culture and enjoy plenty of modern recreational pleasures at the same time, including winter skiing and snowboarding, and spring/summer water rafting and tubing, horseback riding, hiking, fishing and much more. Who coined the term "The Great Outdoors"? You're pretty sure it was a family returning from Durango. It's the most magnificent slice of Old West Americana you've ever seen. Rafting together along the Animas River was really something special. But you were especially captivated by Mesa Verde - standing in the middle of ancient courtyards and pondering the mysteries of the remarkable cliff dwellings. Another favorite was the famous Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad chugging past abandoned mines and beautiful mountain scenery.
