Durango: Old West valley town of 17,000 with deep mining and railroad history. 350 day/years of sunshine in four seasons. A beauty.

Durango’s centerpiece, the Strater Hotel, built in 1887, where we spent the weekend. A “10’ in every category, including the
reserved for guest hot tub.
Room 222 where western fiction writer Louis L’Amour wrote many of his novels and short stories inspired by
the honkey tonk piano music rising from the Strater’s Diamond Belle Saloon below.
Sunday morning hike in Horseshoe Gulch.
