The leaves are quickly moving to darker shades and falling to the ground but the much-needed moisture has been amazing! Before winter truly sets in for a stay, it's time to check off those last fall hikes and rides.
Durango Valley View has plenty of availability for November and December. Time to make those holiday plans.

With the nice amount of rain we've had around the region this year, the fall colors should be spectacular like this drone video from a year ago.
Durango Valley View has several fall dates available for you to get out here for the magnificent fall colors show!

It's nice to hang out by the Animas irrigation ditch in the backyard listening to the water break and dance under the hiking bridge when you want a moment of peace. You can't beat the view as well.
We have August 17th through the 24th available for those looking to get away for a few days or entire week in the mountains.

The sounds of a Durango summer in full swing. If you're visiting the region be sure to put a train excursion on your bucket list. It's super cool to see old technology still operating daily. We love hearing the engine run up the valley to Silverton and back.

OK, so we're bonkers for bikes (mountain, gravel, road) and we enjoy a great hike as much as anyone else, but are π hearts π beat for mountain biking.
Purgatory Resort summer opening day is tomorrow! And they've reworked some of the jump lines and trails.
Oh man, we're ready to get in the woods.
And before we forget (gotta pause the bike brain) --> Durango Valley View is conveniently located 10 minutes from Durango and 20 minutes from Purgatory, right in the middle of the Animas Valley. Be sure to tell your friends or book a stay for yourself!

The Bar D Chuck Wagon is a Durango old-timer that is launching it's 55th season soon. Located on the east side of the Animas Valley basically 2 miles away as the magpie flies from Durango Valley View, this family-friendly chuck wagon will feed you while watching a live western musical show.
We hope to visit them in 2024 for an evening of good ol' fun.

A couple of weekends ago the @dsngrr ran their last coal-fired train to Cascade Canyon. All of their engines will be oil-fired from now on. It's a bittersweet moment in history - the look and smell of the train (and town) will change but it allows the railroad to continue its operations without presenting a fire danger.
Oil-fired steam engines work the same way as coal-fired trains. There's still the steam and the flue exhaust from the smokestack but the color and smell will be different. The only thing that is different is the fuel source. 90% of riders won't even know the difference -- well, no coal cinders in the eyes any more or burning holes in your nice sweater, so there's that!

Right up the road from us is Honeyville where we get their tasty whipped honey spreads. Cinnamon is our favorite. Peanut Brittle is their best kept not-so-secret at the front counter.

We love Still Life Coffee and their baked treats. Durango has fantastic coffee shops on both sides of the Animas River! We are partial to @81301coffee and @still.life.coffee and most of the coffee shops - we love tasty coffee, baked goods and friendly baristas.
Now we're wanting coffee again...

Durango Valley View is rolling into Snowdown week 2024. It can be both beautiful and intimidating at the same time, depending on your participation level π
The majestic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is running beautiful trips to Cascade Canyon.
And for all the details on Snowdown head over to @thesnowdowndurango
