Best Hotel to stay in (not really wanting to camp...but who knows maybe we will)?
What the camp area is like (proximity to the main rally area/events)?
I travel to Durango once a month to do safety training for a client. I can stay at Comfort Inn for $65.00 from Oct to June and then the rate goes up to $135.00. Being a tight wad I will not pay that so I will stay in Cortez at Days Inn, nice room and a good mexican resturant, for $65.00. Or I'll stay in Farmington at America's Best for $65.00 a night. Cortez and Farmington are about 45 miles from Durango. I'll bet you can book rooms in Cortez or Farmington for the rally at good rates.
My wife and I are considering heading out there for the rally too but I have a feeling we are going to be obligated to go to Vegas with some friends instead. I'd rather go to four corners but we will see.
I just realized that four corners and Thunder in the Rockies are the same weekend, I thought four corners was in Oct. Looks like four corners is definitely out.
I like to camp at the Sugar Pine Ranch just north of Mancos Colorado.
Good place for a base of all the activities in the area and a private rally in its own way when staying there.
I booked the Holiday Inn on Main Street in Cortez. Hope that was a good move and not too far from things. Either way, it's damn nice area for riding, so should be good.
Good Choice,
I stayed at Days Inn across the road from the Holiday Inn on Monday and Tuesday.
There is a very good Mexican Restaurant in front of the Days Inn. Holiday Inn has a pretty good place to eat also. If you like old fashioned drive in hamburgers, do not miss the Burger Boy Drive-In. About 4 blocks west of the Holiday Inn on Main.
