A great time to be in Durango, Colorado! When snow covers the San Juan Mountains, runners and cyclists roam through city streets in 45 degree, sunny weather. Add to the mix a great indoor court sport event at two venues (Durango Sports Club and Durango Rec Center).
This annual racquetball tournament featured men and women, racquetball and paddleball, and renewed friendships with fine hospitality.
For those who have not experienced this blend of ‘feel good’, put it on your calendar for next year.
