In addition to its proximity to Mesa Verde National Park & Historic Durango, Colorado - A major source of summer visitation - there are several other factors that enhance the Echo Basin Resort area's attractiveness and, as a result, further promote the services sector of its economy. Of these factors, the two most important are the area's mild summer climate and its wealth of outdoor recreational opportunities, both of which serve as significant draws for tourists, retirees, and seasonal residents. All of these population/visitor segments are enticed by the combination of an accommodating climate, numerous recreational opportunities and a high quality of life.
The recreational areas and cultural attractions accessible from Echo Basin Ranch make it a strategic hub for the region. Besides Mesa Verde, within close proximity are the San Juan and Uncompahgre National Forests, Durango Mountain Resort, Telluride Ski Area, Ute Mountain Casino, McPhee Lake and the Trail of the Ancients.
The resort is accessed off of paved County Road M and is approximately 7 miles to downtown Mancos and 30 miles to Durango. Great year-round access allows the resort to offer a "full season" opportunity to guests wanting to enjoy the mild summers, crisp & colorful falls, snowy winters and lush spring weather. Currently the resort operates from May through October, but could be extended through the year to accommodate the busy hunting season, ski & snowmobile season and spring break seasons.
Echo Basin Resort has been skillfully operated by the current owners since 1998 and has received numerous upgrades, facility expansion and maintenance throughout their ten-year history.
The resort facility include 23 standalone cabins (standard & deluxe cabins), 76 space full hookup RV Park, 80 seat Western Steakhouse and full service Saloon, Banquet facilities (up to 200 + seating capacity), manicured grounds, ponds, driving range, proshop, general store & office, large covered maintenance shop with ample storage, coin-operated laundry facilities, campground, swimming pool, tennis courts, volleyball court, picnic areas and serene outdoor wedding/events grounds.

Currently the resort books 20 to 30 substantial wedding receptions throughout the summer months as well as family reunions, 4H horseback clubs, corporate functions and holiday banquets. Each of these revenue sources could be expanded upon to further enhance the profitability of the operation.

The amphitheater consists of a 100'X48' permanent concrete stage overlooking Mesa Verde National Park, the 14,000 foot La Plata Mountains and the Sacred Sleeping Ute of Southwestern Colorado. It’s an intimate festival setting for up to 5,000 people. As Tommy Shaw of STYX said "Best venue I've played in Colorado for ambiance and beauty". Considering Red Rocks in Denver, the owners are quite proud of this.
