Durango (5/7 & 8/2012)

We enjoyed blue skies and temperatures in the 70's during our week in Santa Fe.  This changed to clouds and rain for the drive to Durango but it didn't matter as the road through the Colorado Plateau was incredibly beautiful. For Rick  right up there with fishing and single malt scotch are trains so on Tuesday morning we visited the Durango and Silverton train museum in downtown Durango.  Quite a place, they have the usual items plus the owners parlor car and a couple of engines that are still functional.  The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad's trips to Silverton depart from the train depot.

Next we drove out to the Ute Cultural Center and Museum that is one of the best Indian museums that we have visited.  A beautiful building and very attractive and well done displays in the museum.
