On Friday, he sat in the First Officer's seat of a Cessna (complete with headset) and flew six hundred feet over his school, viewing the last nine months of his life from totally different perspective. Without reservation I can say firsthand that soaring over snow capped La Plata peaks and the Animas Valley with my son and Max, was an intimate and visually spectacular experience that was worth every penny! I highly encourage not only Durango visitors, but locals alike to take advantage of this unique opportunity with Max. And if you're a parent, flying with Tall Pines Aviation will create a powerful and inspiring memories that you and your children will forever share. Feel free to call me as I'm happy to talk about our great experience with pilot Max Wholey at Tall Pines Aviation or answer any questions.

For those of you who don't travel to southern CO often should check out Mesa Verde National Park…read more The location and methods of building by the Native Americans is incredible. This is a seasonal destination so try to come in the summer when the tours are running so you can walk and climb amongst some of the areas.

A wonderful and beautiful park!…read more Mesa Verde means 'green table'. This national park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the best-preserved Ancestral Puebloan ancestral sites in the United States (nps) - it celebrates people. The snowy peaks in the background is San Juan Mountain. We visit multiple Mesa Top Sites, (900-1100, nps). MTS means top archeological sites within this park. We first stop at the Far View Terrace Cafe for bathroom break and also pick up our lady guide; then driving up north, stopping at the PitHouse, ending the tour at the information & research center in early afternoon about 2pm, that includes an hour lunch at Far View Terrace Cafe, with a wonderful view. Two other cafes are the Spruce Tree Terrace Cafe, and the Knife Edge Cafe. The Cliff Palace is impressive. But the tour didn't take us there - only viewed it from afar. I actually bought a mug that changes with heat and a pretty conch bangle from the gift shop. The information center is cool; the museum is ok.

And he is very pleasant and a great communicator. Let me also say that Durango is a mountain biker's paradise. I have had a few experiences riding before this trip but the fact that you can ride from the center of town right up to multitude of trails is amazing. Riding here would never get old. I highly recommend DMBT for anyone coming to the area to check it out!

He's involved in a lot of local parts of Durango life and so the bike ride is more than just a bike ride -- you get lots of information on the history of the town and current events/interests. I only meant to start out with a 2-hour tour but enjoyed the challenge so much that we went for an extra hour and it was a great personalized tour. We did just over 17 miles and I plan to come back at some point, hopefully for snowboarding lessons too.

We booked the self guided tour of the Kokopelli trail with Hermosa Tours and had an excellent…read moreexperience. The booking process was easy and update emails were sent prior to the start informing us of who our guide would be and where to meet him. Your guide (sherpa extrodonair) Glen Shoemaker was phenomenal and made sure that we knew where we were going each morning by doing a route review for us. He selected prime camping locations and had all our gear out of the trailer and ready for us to set up when we arrived. The tour provided amenities were set up and waiting for use, including a cleaned and stocked fire pit. Trailer and tent placement were carefully selected to maximize protection from prevailing winds and the intense sun. Overall this was an excellent experience! Matt, Glen deserves a raise! ;-)

Rode the Arizona Trail-Flagstaff to Grand Canyon . The…read moretrail it self is excellent , the views are great and scenery is wonderful. Would I ride the trail again yes, Make sure you have a map and GPS . With Hermosa Tours NO! The campsites were fine no issues, and the waste management was no issue. Then why 2 stars ? Contacting Matt , has been less the desirable. I was leaving country for 2 weeks before the ride and returning with 5 days to prep. So I called a couple times before I received a return call with questions on the meeting ,location and parking - I was told don't worry about it -read your packet when you receive it. We ask Matt to cater , charge $280.00 per person -Not a great cook -And we still have a food bill to pay . I have done other self supported rides were the food was included in the price , some cook for you some you cook your own . Charges a lot and does not include food . But he takes part in eating food we paid for . We brought beer and offered it to the guides , But when I drank 1 of theirs I heard about for 2 days , My ice box , I paid the food bill , you ate the food -Get Over It ! Our mistake ! Matt would give a briefing about the ride every morning , not very accurate. I wounder if he really rode the trail. When we had some maintenance issues with the bikes , He did not step forward and offer any help . The other guide Roger jumped in - Great Job. Matt seem to be irritated when questions were ask in reference to the trail , his answers left us questioning his knowledge of the ride . What I have learn from this if the guide service seems flaky or they seem more interested in the greenback . Then in quality of the customer service and customer experience , Lesson learned .

The location is perfect--right on Main Street, and the ladies who assisted us were friendly and helpful. We walked out with two walking tour pamphlets, a couple of coupons and a map that included where to find the trolleys. They even told us where we could find a simple lunch. This is the perfect first stop for your trip to Durango.

Close enough to town and Durango Silverton train. Which passes by the campground. The parts that we did not like was the hook up locations. It seems like they have been done by someone who never had a RV or Travel Trailer. Laundry was listed under inclusions, but it is not included and is 7$ per load which is pricy. Also when booking instead of just a nightly fee they do nightly fee + per person fee for over 2 people, plus if you have 50a , basically pay attention to the fees. ( first time I ever camped at a campground where they did it this way)

Only then did she appear and wanted to charge me the entire amount since I didn't cancel 14 days in advance. Never heard of this in all my camping days and this was never disclosed prior to booking. We refused and paid her only for the amount of days we stayed. Beware! As mentioned several times in other reviews-the best thing about this campground is the hot springs located directly across the street!

Amazing day with Meraki Mountain Adventures! We had the best time hiking in Horse Gulch with Colin…read more It's really lovely to have someone take care of a hike from start to finish - and that's exactly what Colin delivered! He brought the gear, snacks, lunch and a plan! He's incredibly knowledgeable about the outdoors and we loved learning from him about the area, plants and wildlife. We can't wait to go out with him again and try paddle boarding. (He might even convert us to try rock climbing). Can't say enough great things about Colin. As a family who are new to the area - we learned a ton and can't wait to send our friends and family out with Meraki also!
