Labor Day weekend in TBD also means Harleys – 1,000’s of them. However, they do not stay at Durango Mountain Resort and will not be problem. If you are planning on coming early or staying late and want to stay in downtown Durango you’ll need to book early. The best way to book hotel reservations in Durango, for your extended stay, is through Gateway Reservations at 1.800.409.7295 or http://www.gatewayreservations.com/durango_GWR/first_page.html.
If you have plane tickets to Durango there is no reason to change them. It’s about the same drive from Durango as it is from Denver – 3 hours from Denver Vs 4 hours from Durango. From Colorado Springs the drive is shorter, about 2 hours, so if you are going to change your destination airport this is the closest major airport.
If you have made reservations into Albuquerque to save money or to avoid driving from Denver to Durango you may want to consider changing your reservations. Southwest now flies into Denver and Mapquest says it’s a 5 hour drive from Albuquerque to Salida. There is no guarantee that we can get Durango Mountain Resort to pay you change fee, but once we know how many people need to change their plane reservations we will send the hash lawyer after Durango Mountain Resort to try to get them to pay the change fees.
