This special section of the magazine was devoted to the dog friendly nature of Durango and some of us lucky few that get to invite our four-legged friends to spend our days with us!
It was a fun article that highlights how our dogs can be more than just our best friends, but they can also help us to warm up the office environment and even serve as a furry mascot. As a matter of fact, Chloe gets tons of emails from other traveling dogs with all kinds of questions about their trip needs like who has pet friendly lodging, where to find doggie day care while their owners ride the Durango train, and more. Mutts have questions and Chloe has their answers!

Well, it’s no surprise to those of us that live and work in Durango that it was recently named one of a handful of the “Best Places to Live” in the USA by Outside Magazine in its upcoming October 2011 issue! Durango was proud to be one of the 19 “perfect towns” that were named in their selection of the Best Places to Live. Among the highlights, the readers selected Durango because of our “geographic and cultural link between high desert and high country,” over 1000 miles of mountain biking surrounding town, Skiing at DMR, 4 different Breweries, and our all-around fun, laid back atmosphere!
Plan a trip to Durango and come find out for yourself why Durango is one of the best places to live in the US! Check out the article in the October issue or the link to “Durango, the Next Big Thing” here!
Soaring next to the famous Durango & Silverton Train
Okay, we’ll admit it…We have a great job! We get to help people plan vacations and to come and enjoy some of the most beautiful and unique destinations in the Southwest. Also, every once in a while, we have the opportunity to go out there and try out some of the exciting activities for ourselves. Well, we recently had one of those great opportunities as the crew at Gateway Reservations went out to take on one of Durango’s most exciting and unique activities – the Soaring Tree Top Adventure!
Soaring Tree Top Adventures is a local zip lining activity, although what you think of when we say “zip line” just doesn’t quite do this adventure justice! Boasting over 32 platforms with 27 lines that fly as high as 100ft in the air and run as long as 1400ft… Soaring is truly unique. It has been touted as not only the #1 adventure in Durango, not only in Colorado, but the top rated adventure in the entire U.S.!
Being blessed with the gift of gab, I don’t often find myself at a lack of words but, in this case, I found that words simply can’t describe this one of a kind adventure… so I created a video instead:
