Left
the Abominable Snowmansion very early in the morning--first one up
as usual. Drove through the Carson National Forest to get
here. Still snow on the ground.
The
Durango Hostel is nothing fancy, but it's not bad. Got
everything I need. There are two other hostellers here.
Durango,
Colorado is surrounded by mountains. There'll be a cool breeze
tonight.
Took
a walk around the city. Had dinner at a restaurant.
I'll be
up early tomorrow. I want to see Mesa Verde and Four Corners
before going to the hostel in Page, Arizona (near Lake Powell).
I
just received an e-mail from Candace Lemon. She informed me
that the old Durango Hostel closed down in 2002. And that she
is the manager of the new hostel: Durango Hometown Hostel.
I
received another e-mail from the Durango Hostel.
I
have not been to the new Durango Hostel.
If
you want to see what it is like now, then check out their website
above.

I'm sure most or all of the hostels that I stayed in a decade ago have
changed. But this website is only about my experiences during my
2001 road trip and the places I stayed.
If
anyone is looking for CURRENT information about hostels, it is
probably best to go directly to their web sites.
