I'm blowing out of town today after a quite pleasant stay in Durango with my friends. This historic hotel (1887) will give you a flavor for the charm of this town. It is quite a resort location as well as year-round home for thousands of residents.
This part of Colorado might not be as well known as the ski resorts of Aspen and Vail, yet it a must destination for any serious visitor to this State. See http://www.durango.org/ for more information.
I'm off to Santa Fe.
