Welcome to Durango, Colorado - one of the most beautiful places in the Rocky Mountains to live and play.   The terrain in Southwest Colorado is amazingly diverse, with 14,000-foot peaks to the north and high desert mesas to the south - and all of it within easy access to over two million acres of national forest and wilderness. Recreational opportunities abound. Skiing, hiking and the best mountain biking in the country, along with world-class golf and gold-medal trout fishing.   Take a drive on the San Juan Skyway and visit the old mining towns of Silverton, Ouray and Telluride. Or, take a ride on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Or, how about a lazy day at Trimble Hot Springs. Later on, visit the many shops, galleries and outstanding restaurants in historic downtown Durango. Oh, what a place!   Combine Durangos oldest and most respected real estate firm, Prudential Triple S Realty, with the team of Geoff and Karen Overington and you get the very best the town has to offer in real estate services- state-of-the-art tools and technology combined with the highest level of knowledge, integrity and experience.
