Durango Day One

We made the laborious drive from Alamosa to Durango today.  The Winnebago was tested on the ride up and down from Wolf Creek Pass (10,500 feet) and the drive from Pagosa Springs to Durango always seems too long for me.  We wanted to stay at the Alpen Rose RV Resort but they must not have wanted us since they never responded to our phone messages.  Instead we are at the United Campground which has the Durango Silverton Railroad passing through the campground.  Tomorrow morning I will be waiting for the trains to pass.

Once settled in the campground we ran some errands in town and then headed for Silverton for a look around.

We are a bit early for the Fall colors but we still enjoyed the scenery and will do some more exploring tomorrow.
