Why Visit Durango This Fall?
Great Travel + Leisure Tips for Your Next Trip
We are so excited to welcome you all in Durango this fall for the Horizons Fall Photography Conference. Aside from the conference and the fall colors, this is the perfect time to explore everything this vibrant southwestern town has to offer.
Just in time for your travel planning, Travel + Leisure recently published a fantastic guide written by Cu Fleshman, outlining the top five can’t miss activities in Durango. Whether you are attending the conference or just looking for a fall getaway, her article is full of great ideas to make the most of your trip.
With the San Juan Mountains exploding in color, it is no surprise one of the top recommendations is to experience the Durango & SIlverton Narrow Gauge Railroad during peak foliage season, a truly spectacular way to see fall colors.
Below are a few more highlights from the article that we agree with (and added a couple of our own!):

CU FLESHMAN’S TOP 5 CAN’T MISS
Ride the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad for a journey deep into the San Juan Mountains which is especially gorgeous during fall foliage season
Shop for one-of-a-kind gifts at places like White Rabbit Books & Curiosities, Animas Trading Co., and the Durango Antique Market.
Step back in time with stay at historic accommodations like the Strater Hotel. We obviously recommend you stay at our hosting hotel, Sky Ute Resort and Casino during the Horizons Conference.
Soak in hot springs after a day of hiking, skiing (or photographing), to relax sore muscles.
Sip craft beers or wines at Steamworks Brewing Company or El Moro Spirits & Tavern. We also recommend Four Leaves Winery.
