Mapquest indicates that the drive from Albuquerque, NM to Durango is about 4 hours, but from what I've read here I somehow get the feeling that it could be a bit less.

So how long is the drive? I'll post this message in both the CO and NM forums.

Thanks!

I'd count on the 4 hrs. There's no direct way and it is somewhat mountainous. But if DebitNM chimes, I'd definitely listen to her. This is her territory.

BTW, there is no separate CO and NM forums. Those are search forums only, so all messages are posted only under the "united states" forum.

I meant to say ".. if DebitNM chimes in"

I think DebitNM is out of pocket today. She is the expert in this area and drives ABQ-Durango often! So heed her advise.

topping for Debit

Drive time from ABQ to Durango is 3 hours. I just got home from that drive, do it all the time. I can give specific directions if you'd like. Be back either later tonight or tomorrow.
