One day, two historic towns, and a lifetime of memories. 🏔️ Take the full trek to Silverton this summer! Feel the wind in your hair, hear the echoes of the train whistle off the canyon walls, and explore a 19th-century mining town at 9,318 feet. It’s the quintessential Colorado summer experience.

Last Sunday, April 19, Durango declared its first-ever “Ross Anderson Day,” marking 20 years since the hometown skier set the American speed skiing record at 154.06 mph! ⛷️🔥
The celebration, which was held at Rotary Park, featured a traditional acknowledgment, cultural performances, and the official proclamation from Mayor G. Yazzie. We look forward to marking our calendars and celebrating Ross Anderson Day for years to come!

"Matriarchy is more than a title — it’s a living teaching. It lives in the hands of mothers, the strength of sons, and the traditions carried forward with every step."
Local resident Sunshine M. Whyte and her sons Sonny and Warren visit the new mural along the river trail at Santa Rita Park to honor Native motherhood, identity, and learn about the cultural significance of hair — serving as a symbol of resilience, love, and continuity for her and her family. This family has ancestral ties to this land, and we want to honor and recognize their deep-rooted connection and presence within this community.
"This is Matriarchy. This is Native strength. This is legacy in motion."
Mother: Sunshine M. Whyte
Sons: Sonny Flores & Warren Whyte
