Mesa Verde rises to the south and west — a blue-gray mesa filled with the largest, densest concentration of Pre-Columbian architecture north of Mexico. In many ways, Durango is the heart of North America. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605bc62e446be661053b6b85/1616785638604-7QB5JQRQ2XR213ONPHXG/FLC-+clock+tower-lodging.jpg Home - A Place in the Sky We convene on the campus of Fort Lewis College, which sits on a lofty terrace overlooking the town of Durango and the verdant Animas River valley.

Sorry, but the Teleportation option is not currently available. However, if you are seeking to go back in time, consider a visit to nearby Mesa Verde National Park, whether on a NARGS-guided excursion or on your own pre- or post-meeting. Mesa Verde National Park was established in 1906 to preserve and interpret the archeological heritage of the Ancestral Pueblo people who made it their home from 600 to 1300 AD. There might be some restrictions on groups visiting the better-know cliff dwellings this summer. We’ll keep you posted but we WILL have a people-places-plants guided tour of this unique high desert environment. https://www.durangonargs.org/getting-around daily 0.75 2021-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605bc62e446be661053b6b85/1618274737534-HOP0ZDQTPDUVUK120BZF/nargs_flower1.jpg Getting around https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605bc62e446be661053b6b85/1618275014630-EH58LAD3O75WBWNCE5UR/nargs_flowers2.jpg Getting around https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605bc62e446be661053b6b85/1617640899609-ENOMXNVZL53FIJRU253I/nargs_flowers-trail.jpg Getting around https://www.durangonargs.org/lodging-overview daily 0.75 2021-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605bc62e446be661053b6b85/1617222559079-BBZ4GEAG924952QNBB32/StraterHotel-smaller.jpg Lodging Overview https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605bc62e446be661053b6b85/1617222635586-5QF0R9CWFUIDN8488IIA/Durango+Girl+on+a+Cliff.jpg Lodging Overview https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605bc62e446be661053b6b85/1617207677533-QCQYFA9U7QFOZNDHXXLI/West%252BHall%252B-%252BFLC.jpg Lodging Overview https://www.durangonargs.org/staff daily 0.75 2021-07-15 https://www.durangonargs.org/west-hall daily 0.75 2021-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605bc62e446be661053b6b85/1617225881340-3C1CIRHY0BHCS7NHZ1HF/WestHall%2Blayout.jpg West Hall Here’s a typical layout of the suites at West Hall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605bc62e446be661053b6b85/1617225854510-LUU0A8IN1DR5MSGIA1LR/West%2BHall%2B-%2BFLC.jpg West Hall West Hall offers open spaces and great scenery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605bc62e446be661053b6b85/1617228066851-YNDI73MXWFG4MNM4A1NA/nargs_skysteps.jpg West Hall Outside your door, the Sky Steps trail to town. https://www.durangonargs.org/historic-intown-hotels daily 0.75 2021-04-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605bc62e446be661053b6b85/1617230455986-VB3HHO3T4680O6N7TJ2Q/nargs_strater+room.jpg Historic in-town hotels - The famed Strater Hotel offers 88 unique room, each uniquely decorated and furnished with American Victorian antiques and modern conveniences.
