Learning from past mistakes and what to expect this Halloween at the infamous Durango Zombie March.
For over a decade, hordes of zombies have descended on downtown Durango every Halloween, just as the clocks strikes midnight.

Rediscovering Durango through food, as told through the eyes (and stomach) of a hungry college student.
As the leaves begin to change, heralding the coming snows of winter, Durango comes alive, bursting with flavor everywhere you look. The boughs of fruit trees lining Durango’s streets are weighed down by apricots, peaches, apples and cherries that are plump and impossibly sweet.
Farm fields are bursting with seasonal squash, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, sunflowers and leafy greens, brought up on Animas River water and months of hot southwest summer sun.
