Welcome to Durango, you'll never want to leave.

After our splendid hike in Glenwood Springs we headed south-west on I-70 towards Grand Junction. From Grand Junction south, I was beginning to feel the slightest concern we had chosen the wrong path… My fears were obliterated upon arrival to a little town called Ouray, CO. From this point forward, my jaw did not move from the dropped position until we meet our final destination in Durango.

Low and behold: DURANGO.
We were greeted by outstretched hands.
