About Durango, Colorado
Durango is nestled in the Animas River Valley surrounded by the San Juan Mountains. The Animas River - El Río de las Animas Perdidas or the River of Lost Souls - runs through downtown. It boasts gold medal fly-fishing waters and is very popular for whitewater rafting, kayaking and canoeing. Other activities in this outdoor paradise include hiking, mountain biking, road biking, backpacking, rock climbing, hunting, off-roading, and golfing.
In the winter, Durango has easy access to five major ski areas, including
the Durango Mountain Resort at Purgatory, located just 30 minutes north of downtown. Located 35 miles west of Durango is Mesa Verde National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its Ancestral Puebloan Cliff Dwellings. Durango is also well known for another historical attraction, the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, a heritage railway which travels from Durango to the historic mining town of Silverton on steam-powered trains with rolling stock dating back to the 1920s and before.

About Farmington, New Mexico
Nestled in the picturesque San Juan River valley, within sight of Colorado's rugged San Juan Mountains and desert highlands of Arizona and Utah, Farmington (pop. 41,000) is the largest city in the Four Corners area. Settled by pioneers at the confluence of the Animas, La Plata and San Juan Rivers, Farmington blossomed into a flourishing farm and ranch economy and was incorporated in 1901. Today, the extractive industries (oil, gas and mining) are the largest employers in the area. This region serves as the traditional homeland for a number of Native American Tribes, including the Navajo, Jicarilla Apache, Ute Mountain Ute, Southern Ute, and Hopi nations. The Navajo Reservation borders Farmington at its west and southwest limits, and contributes culturally and economically to the community.
Farmington offers a wonderful array of southwestern arts and entertainment, from historic trading posts to theater under the stars. The city also has one of the top-rated public golf courses in the country: Piñon Hills (number one municipal course in the nation by Golf Digest!). Additional amenities include an Olympic-size pool (the Farmington Aquatic Center), Gateway Park, Farmington Museum and Visitors Center, and the new award-winning Farmington Public Library. In fact, their "Quality of Life" plan was awarded Honorable Mention in the 2000 U.S. Conference of Mayors City Livability Program.

About Cortez, Colorado
Cortez - where the San Juan Mountains meet the stunning southwest desert! Outdoor recreation opportunities and vast cultural resources are just minutes away from the community (pop. 8,500). Locally, the Parks and Recreation Department manages picnic spots and sports fields, the Conquistador Golf Course, the Cortez Municipal Aquatics Complex and the Cortez Recreation Center. The nearby San Juan National Forest is a destination for campers, hikers, hunters and cross-country skiers, while the Dolores River beckons rafters, kayakers and canoeists to run its cool, clear waters. Telluride's world-class ski slopes are just an hour away.
Perhaps most the most unique feature about Cortez is its proximity to the center of an ancient Indian civilization, where evidence of early dwellers can be seen everywhere. Mesa Verde National Park is a World Heritage Site and the nation's richest archeological preserve. Amazing cliff dwellings and more than 4,000 ancient sites reveal the fascinating culture of the Ancestral Puebloan people. Other archaeological opportunities include the Anasazi Heritage Center, the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, and Crow Canyon Archeological Center, where you can actually help with an excavation.
