It’s that Leaf Peeping Time of Year!

With the weather getting a bit cooler and the leaves starting to change, now is the perfect time to check out the high country. The San Juan Skyway, a national scenic byway and designated “All American Road,” should be on your bucket list of scenic drives to take in late September/early October! This panoramic loop takes you along Highway 550 from Durango to Silverton, over the “Million Dollar Highway” to Ouray, through Telluride, Cortez and past Mesa Verde National Park with breathtaking vistas all along the route. As you’re driving, take a break and stop by Durango Mountain Resort where you’ll find a serene backdrop of aspen trees that produce an array of brilliant golds, reds, yellows and greens. Autumns at Durango Mountain Resort also provide great weather for hikes, mountain biking or simple relaxation.

Durango Mountain Resort is open on the weekends through September 25th, so you can enjoy the incredible weather and amazing views! Take in the spectacular scenery on the scenic chairlift or explore Purgatory’s slopes and vistas via mountain bike or hiking shoes. For those wanting more adventure, take the “plunge” on our new zipline, race down the Alpine Slide or get vertical on the bungee trampolines and climbing walls!
