Day 7 - Took the pups for a short hike in Flagstaff, then reluctantly pulled out of town to continue our journey East. We'll be back, Flagstaff... we'll be back. 😆
Stopped in Gallup, NM only because it was the half-way point to Durango. We've been there a few times before, and already ridden all the trails there, so we used this as a much-needed rest day.
Day 8 - Out early to make our way to Durango, CO. Amazing how the landscape changes so dramatically on this leg of the trip. We went from the tan and stone of the AZ desert, to the lush green and flowers of Flagstaff, back to the dusty, tan desert of NM, and now finally back to lush green meadows, mountains, and flowers. The campground is beautiful, and we have a giant site with a gorgeous patio, which is making the pups very happy! Weather is dry and sunny, with temps in the high 70s and a beautiful mountain breeze. Although we've both been to Colorado before, we've never been here together, and never in an RV, so we ceremoniously added a new state sticker to our map (See pics below)
Since we got here too late to ride, we called the first day a 'tourist day' and headed into downtown Durango. Cute little historic mountain town with lots of breweries. We hit two, and saved the rest for the next few days.
