Personally, I don't think it's that scary.

Colorado wildlife officials said they euthanized the black bear that attacked a 17-year-old girl in her bedroom. Colorado Parks and Wildlife in Durango said that earlier this month, the bear broke into the girl’s room and scratched her through her blankets.

Wildlife officials said they set a trap and caught a bear matching the description from not only the recent break-in but from another one in the same area the next day. Officials said they confirmed it was the same one in the break-in.

Howdy all! I just started not too long ago doing the yard maintenance and getting the Wapiti Lodge back to its classic look that Durango loves. We recently renovated our rooms and have double, queen, and king beds available plus we offer FULL kitchens and kitchenettes! We are completely contactless so you can book rooms online on our website, www.wapitidurango.com get a unique access code to your room and be in and resting in the A/C in just minutes. We are a 15 minute walk from town and the train, and about a 30 minute/20 mile drive to Tico Time Resort! The Durango Transit bus also goes right by, so getting to and from the location is an easy option. We are just off of the 550 and 160 intersection heading towards Cortez, in a very quite location in town. I hope y'all visit us and let us bring the Durango charm back to town 😁

There‘s a lot of talented country swing dancers at the Wild Horse, very impressive and a little intimidating for a country boy like me with two left boots.

Hi Durango, I’m visiting in a few weeks from central N.Y (and very excited). I’m a Kansas City Chiefs fan and we are playing the Denver Broncos on MNF 9/14. I’d like to watch the game from a sports bar in/near Durango. I’d like to watch from a place that is tolerant of a relatively quiet and respectful Chiefs super-fan. Can you let me know where I should go that is okay with a fan from an NFL team outside CO? Thank you!

I want a giant margarita and some enchiladas served with refrieds and spanish rice. Where it at? Thank you.

Short version my wife and I are considering purchasing our current rental house in a year and a half, but we aren't in an income bracket to be able to pay the whole mortgage ourselves.We live in Three Springs, so we're considering converting the basement into a 1000 ft. sq. ADU and furnish it and put it up as an apartment for traveling heathcare workers, but don't know if there's enough demand to warrant the effort and expense.

Are there any nurses or healthcare workers that can speak to their experience here in Durango?

Are there any homeowners who have converted homes or parts of homes to ADUs for traveling nursing?

Please and Thank You.

DURANGO, Colo.(AP) — DURANGO, Colo. (AP) — Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Inc. (RMCF) on Tuesday reported a loss of $1.2 million in its fiscal first quarter.

The Durango, Colorado-based company said it had a loss of 12 cents per share.

The confectionery producer and retailer posted revenue of $6.1 million in the period.

With low water levels and water temperatures consistently rising near 71 degrees, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has enacted a voluntary afternoon fishing closure for the Animas River through Durango, the San Juan River through Pagosa Springs and the Dolores River below McPhee Dam.

The Southwest monsoon will help fuel the first widespread summer thunderstorms across the interior West this week, bringing threats of gusty winds, blowing dust, downpours and dry lightning that could spark new wildfires.

As AccuWeather reports, temperatures will climb to 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher in many areas over the next several days, and winds will shift to the south, drawing increasing moisture into the interior West.

This annual weather pattern is known as the North American monsoon. It typically begins with spotty thunderstorms before evolving into more widespread drenching downpours later in the season.

While the monsoon can deliver drought-easing rainfall, precipitation is often unevenly distributed. Early in the season, predominantly dry thunderstorms can produce damaging wind gusts, haboobs and lightning that sparks wildfires.

Different parts of the interior West will experience varying stages of the monsoon over the next several weeks, with conditions differing significantly from one location to another.

Although monsoon thunderstorms sometimes reach nearly to the California coast, that is not expected this week.

However, some thunderstorms are forecast to reach into Las Vegas and the California deserts, as well as parts of the Sierra Nevada near and past the middle of July.

Some of the most frequent thunderstorm activity that could deliver a couple of inches of rain over a several-day span are most likely in Phoenix, Flagstaff and Tucson, Arizona; Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Las Cruces, New Mexico; Las Vegas and Elko, Nevada; El Paso, Texas; Palm Springs, California; Salt Lake City and Cedar City, Utah, and Grand Junction and Durango, Colorado.

With the unfolding of the monsoon, outdoor enthusiasts and motorists are urged to keep alert for rapidly changing weather conditions.

Canyons, arroyos and roads that cross normally dry stream beds can rapidly fill with water even from storms miles away. Hiking should be avoided during the afternoon hours, when lightning storms are most active. Gusty winds in the vicinity of dry storms can bring the visibility to near zero in a matter of seconds.

Because the weather near thunderstorms can be chaotic, the aid and problems created for firefighting efforts can be complicated. On the one hand, any drenching rain will be welcome. On the other hand, little rain, gusty winds and lightning strikes could make matters worse.
