Went to Durango last year to ride the narrow gauge. Told my wife that if anything happened to her, that's where I'd want to go. Then, I found out that it's all full of Californians and now they legalized smoking that stuff. Think I'd rather stay in New Jersey

PS: Does it take a long time to get reservations at the hotel or is it far enough off the beaten path to visit without planning a trip months in advance?
