So I walked Dylan a good 5 miles or more in the hills of Santa Fe the first day of our trip, so we decided to take an easy day in our next destination, Durango, Colorado.
Now in San Anton, 5 miles would be chump change for both of us but never getting below 8000 ft changes things. Neither of us had any altitude sickness, but you feel it nonetheless: tightening in your chest, taking a breath in the middle of your sentences, chugging water etc. Both Dylan and I averaged 5-6 bottles of water per day on our trip!!
Spent the morning exploring the historic train station of Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad built in 1882 and the Downtown district with all of their cute shops, boutiques and Western hotels. Ate lunch while walking along the Animas River Trail through town.
We spent the afternoon exploring Ft. Lewis College, finding all the local hang out spots and even taking a nap in the quad under the pine trees- felt like locals! :)
The views from the college were spectacular!! All that was missing was snow on the tops of the mountains. :)
Dinner at the local Carver Brewery was dang good, mostly because of the Raspberry Wheat ale. I am not a big beer drinker, but man! That stuff was super delish! Even brought some home with us to savor.. :)
