Yeah yeah yeah, I know y'all are gonna get tired of hearing DURANGO...but too bad! I'll keep it all in check here --
Start off with my first trip out there, 11/29 - 12/2
The first of more planes than I care to count for the weekend:
11pm landing - dang this airport is smaller than AVL:
My first taste of a Durango local brew (and some of the best ribs I've ever had):
Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (steam engine yup):
Part of town & the Animas River:
Red Cliffs area (my rental house is near here):
Another stretch of the river further outside of town (found this rocky spot on a fluke):
Very first view of any snow caps in the San Juans:
Durango Mountain Resort (aka Purgatory):
Coalbank Pass on the way up to Silverton:
Telluride:
in Downtown Durango - Strater Hotel and the beginning of an amazing sunrise:
Strater Hotel - where I got to stay...pretty cool place:
Lobby:
A picture on my phone REALLY doesn't do this sunrise justice...!

This summer make sure to hike Engineer Mountain and get in biking shape... Durango has some of the best mountain biking in the country.
You may just have to show me around if I can get out there after ski season.
