Durango, a town of some 17,000 people, is in the process of making that sometimes difficult transition from being a mining, railroad, and ranching community to becoming a New West community, where the mines are almost all closed down, the railroad has become a tourist attraction, and the ranches are slowly becoming subdivisions. As old meets new, Durango experiences some growing pains, but all the same, Durango remains a great place to raise a family and a place where it's easy to take a camping trip or a hike and not see a soul. In the new Durango, it's also now easy to find plenty of yoga classes to choose from, get a tasty Thai dinner, see a great concert, and buy good organic produce.
