Spend a few days in the beautiful city of Durango, Colorado with a two-night stay for two at the Historic Strater Hotel, two tickets to the famous Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, rafting for two on the Animas River courtesy of Mountain Waters Rafting, two passes for admission to the Trimble Spa & Natural Hot Springs, complimentary Old West photo session at Thru The Lens Photography, as well as gift certificates for Zia Taqueria, Steamworks, and Bart's New York Deli.  To top it all off, a gift bag with local items from the Durango Area Tourism Office.
     Durango was just awarded the title of one of the twelve 2007 Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.  Nestled between red sandstone bluffs in the lush Animas River Valley, Durango is blessed with natural beauty matched only by its colorful mining history.  Fine Victorian buildings and even a 3-story "skyscraper," all still stand in the historic district, and the big red trolley runs daily past the brick and stone buildings that still bear the names of the frontiersmen who built them. The 125 year-old Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad offers scenic rides and the  magnificent 1887 Strater Hotel remains a central downtown attraction.
