Great breakfast spot with bloody's and mimosas and awesome sandwiches for lunch - 15 minute drive from our property!

Breakfast??

Old Schoolhouse has the best pizza 3 miles from our home! It takes a bit longer to cook a pizza at high altitude so I recommend getting it to go and if you arrive early get a drink at the bar!

Facts about Purgatory-
A Year-Round Paradise in the San Juan Mountains

Located in the rugged San Juan Mountains in southwest Colorado, Purgatory Resort is only 25 miles north of historic downtown Durango. Carved by glaciers thousands of years ago, Purgatory offers a unique blend of steep tree skiing trails and wide-open cruisers with stunning views. Averaging 260 inches of snow annually, Purgatory is known for consistent, dry powder from frequent storms which are followed by sunny, bluebird days — creating perfect conditions for pure alpine nirvana. Purgatory features over 1,600 acres of skiable terrain, 105 trails, 11 lifts, multiple terrain parks and a vertical drop of 2,029 feet.
