DURANGO/MESA VERDE

We had a blast these last three days. Kurt and I drove to Durango . Thursday was wonderful. The scenery was gorgeous and the drive pleasant. Durango, for those who don't know is a little town, kind of like St. George only greener. They have a WalMart, no Target, but a great little historic downtown district. Friday we went to Mesa Verde which for me, was an extremely religious and awe inspiring adventure. You have to really want to see this place because it takes a while to drive up the mountain and then hike down to the ruins. We saw only two but they were spectacular. Today we drove back and it took us almost 8 hours. Two and half hours were spent getting from Durango to Silverton....whatta road...kind of white knuckle drive. But we had fun. Here are the pictures.

Hi Kurt & Pam! I've wanted to go to Mesa Verde for a long time, and now I'm convinced that Aaron & I will have to take a trip out there! :) Great pics, you two! Hope all is well!

My parents used to live in Durango! (Well, Vallecito, just up the mountain from there!) Durango was the place to go for shopping...like you said, a one Walmart town!!! I love Mesa Verde! Have you taken the train ride from Durango to Silverton?
