This airport is a very viable alternative to trying to land
at Denver Stapleton or whatever the new airport will be called. The FBO is very helpful
and you can rent a car there to get into the city. The Holiday Inn down the road toward
Denver has great breakfast that comes with the room. Denver has all the big city stuff as
well as the neat walk-around sections but you do need a car to get to them from the
airport. (ked 9/94)

You can stay in Durango, what should be a wild West town but is
really more like a mountain town. The drive into Mesa Verde is a must. Just don’t
back up on any of the roads in the park....they give tickets for just about anything
there. (ked 9/94)

There are several small motels in town that are remarkably cheap.
Drive up to Rocky Mountain State Park, where you will experience multiple levels of
nature, from the desert up through to tundra, a change in temperature from 90 degrees to
30 in an hours drive (be sure to wear layers of clothing to add and subtract as you move
up and down). (ked 9/94)
