E hauʻoli i ka mīkini, ke kālepaʻana, ka hauhoeʻana, a me nā mea hou aku i kēia kaona ma waho.
Duanago,ʻO Colorado he mea kupaianaha nui a loaʻa iā ia nā mea a pau mai ka skiing i nāʻoihana kālepa i ka holoʻana. Aia ke kūlanakauhale ma kaʻaoʻao hema komohana o Colorado a heʻekolu hola maiʻo Albuquerque mai, heʻeono hora mai Denver mai, a heʻehiku hola mai Kahiki mai. Loaʻa i ke kūlanakauhale he wahi ea honua liʻiliʻi e hiki ai iāʻoe ke lele mai nā kūlanakauhale e like me Denver a me Phoenix i loko o ka hora wale nō.
Ua hoʻokumuʻiaʻo Durango i ka makahiki 1879 e lilo i kumu no ka poʻe hoʻolako i nā meaʻenehana a puni, a ua loli iki mai ia manawa mai, e hoʻomau ana i ka nānāʻana o ka hale.
ʻO kahi wale nō i hoʻololiʻia,ʻo ia ke kūʻaiʻiaʻana o nā mea kūʻai a me nā mea hanahana i hanaʻia ma ke alanui nui e kaʻoihana boola a me ka pāʻani pāʻani i nā haleʻaina.
No nā Haumāna Ola Pūlepa
Ināʻo ka skiing a me nā hoʻolālā hoʻolālā he meaʻoe, kahi kūpono loa e hele ai i ka Purgatory Resort, kahi wale nō 26 mau mile ma waho o ke kūlanakauhale. ʻOiai paha he mea weliweli ka inoa o ka hālāwai, he wahi mālie, a maikaʻi loa kekahi mea no nā poʻe a pau - he kumu nō ia e kapa pinepineʻia ai ka inoaʻo "Top Value Value" o ka'ākauʻo North America.
Loaʻa i kahi hui 99 mau alakai a me nā māla'āinaʻeono no ka poʻe hoʻokele moku. Ua hoʻonohonoho ponoʻia lākou no nā mea a pau āu e makemake ai, e hāʻawi ana i nā palena, nā hoʻoponopono, a me nā haʻawina no nā makahiki a me nā makahiki. Nui nā mea'ē aʻe e hauʻoli ai no nā poʻeʻoihana kiʻiʻole, e like me ka hāʻawiʻana i ka hau hau, nā holo hau hauhoe, ka hololio i nā'īlio, nā holo lio, ke kaʻa hekili, a me nā huakaʻi haumele.
Inā makemakeʻoe e kokoke i nā hana a pau, e noʻonoʻo e noho i kahi noho. Nui nā'āpana, e kū ana mai nā lumi hoʻolālā i kahi o nā mīkini loloa paʻakikī, nā mea i hoʻolimalimaʻia a hoʻolimalimaʻia. Nohoʻoe ma kekahi o nā waiwai e hāʻawi ana iāʻoe e hiki keʻaʻai i nā haleʻaiʻeiwa o nā resort,ʻewalu hale kūʻai, a me ke kau.
He aha e hana ai i nā pali
Eʻike i kahi hoʻokipa a wahi kūikawā paha ināʻaʻoleʻoe i ka skiing a iʻole e makemake i kahi haʻalulu. ʻO ka Hale Hōʻuluʻulu Kūlokoʻo ia hoʻi he mau mea kūikawā kūikawā paha. Hiki iāʻoe ke maopopo pono eʻike i nā yoga, nā papa, nā hana hoʻokani mele, nā kipa me nā'īlio hoʻopakele, a iʻole kekahi hana'ē aʻe i hanaʻia i kāu huakaʻi. Hiki iāʻoe ke hoʻolālā i kou noho ma nā hanana kūikawā'ē aʻe i mālamaʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki, e like me ka Cardboard Derby, kahi i hanaʻia ai nā papa hana hoʻohālike i hanaʻia mai ka pahu pahu, aiʻole nā'ānela Angels & Demons, kahi e pili ana i ka hololio a me ka hoʻokele pūʻulu ma lalo o ka mauna i keʻaʻahu .
ʻO ke poʻo i ke kūlanakauhale a ke kipa aku i ka Animas Museum, kahi e hōʻike ai i nā hōʻike ma ka moʻolelo o ka'āina a me kahi papa hana likeʻole i hiki i 1904.
ʻO ka holoʻana he kiʻi nui loa no ke kūlanakauhale,ʻoiaiʻo Durango ka inoa o ka puʻuwai o San Juan. ʻO kekahi o nā hikes aloha nui loa o ka'āina,ʻo ia ka Animal Mountain Trail, kahi e lele nei i kahi mauna ma waho o ke kūlanakauhale a hāʻawi mai i nā manaʻo kupaianaha. He maʻalahi hiki ke piʻi i hiki iāʻoe ke hana i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Inā makemakeʻoe i kahi ala kūpono e pono ai nā kānaka a me nāʻano o ke aniau, e ho'āʻo i ka Animas River Trail, he ala i piha i ke ala e lele ai i ke kahawaiʻo Animas River a hele i waena o ke kūlanakauhale.
E hele i ke ala
Ke hele neiʻo Durango i kaʻikeʻoleʻia, akā hiki ke hele i nā huakaʻi huakaʻi ma kekahi manawa. Inā makemakeʻoe e hoʻi aku i ka wā aʻike i nā mea like i nā makahiki i hala aku nei, e hele i kahi hora i Silverton, kahi kaiāulu ma mua o ke kaiaulu ma nā mauna e noho ana i ka 600 mau kānaka wale nō aʻoi aku ka haʻaheo aʻe ma mua o Durango.
ʻO kekahi o nā ala i kaulana loa e hiki ai i Silverton,ʻo ia ke kiʻi aku i ka Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, kahi mokumahu kahe e hoʻomaka ana e hoʻoulu i ke gula a me ke kālā ma waena o nā kūlanakauhaleʻelua a ke halihali nei i nā poʻe ma kahi o nā alaʻoi loa i ka'āina. Hiki iāʻoe ke kūʻai i ka uku, akā, ināʻoe eʻimi ana e mālama i ke kālā, hiki iāʻoe ke hopu i nā manaʻo like o ka waoʻo San Juan National ma ka holoʻana i Silverton ma San Juan Skyway.
Ke hele akuʻoe i laila, e hele a puni i ke kauhale a lawe i loko o nā hale lapuwale mua a me nā hale kūʻai makana.
Ma ka pauʻana o ke alanui nui, e holo akuʻoe i ka Sanana County Historical Society, e hāʻawi iāʻoe i kaʻike pilina o ka moʻolelo. Hiki paha iāʻoe ke manaʻo he hale kūʻai ia e like me nā mea'ē aʻe a hiki i kou holoʻana i loko o ke kope i nā kolamu minia aʻike i nāʻano paakiki a me ka weliweli a nā miners o Silverton i kāohi ai.
Eʻoliʻoli ana nā Skiers (nā mea kūʻokoʻa,ʻo ia hoʻi) ka mea a Silverton e hāʻawi aku ai,ʻoiaiʻo waho o ke kūlanakauhaleʻo Silverton Mountain wale nō, kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka mākaʻikaʻi aʻoi aku o ka mākaʻikaʻi ma Amerika Akau me ka kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o 13,487 kapuaʻi. Hoʻolālā nā limahana i ka hana hoʻolālā avalanche ma ka haʻaleleʻana i ka mauna i kona kūlana kūlohelohe,ʻo ia hoʻi,ʻaʻohe mea iʻokiʻia. He palekana wale nō ia no ka pōmaikaʻi, akā ināʻikeʻoe i kāu hana e loaʻa iāʻoe kaʻike o kāu ola.
Ināʻoe e hoʻolimalima i ka manawa ma hope o kaʻonoʻana i kēia mau kūlanakauhale nui, hiki pono ke hele i ka Mesa Verde National Park, kahi hora o ke kaʻa mai Durango aʻelua hola mai Silverton. ʻO ka pākaho kahi home no nā wahi noho i kūkuluʻia e nā'AiwiʻAmelika ma waho o nā pali e kau nei i kēlā wahi. I kou heleʻana i loko o nā hale pōhaku kiʻekiʻe,ʻikeʻoe i ke kumu i kapaʻia ai kekahi o nā mea kupaianaha o ke ao nei.
