Durango/Grand Junction, Colorado
I'm getting great suggestions for Northern New Mexico and now I need some recommendations for Durango and Grand Junction, Colorado. We probably won't be doing any extreme high-end dining, but we're open for anything else.

I worked on a series of commercials for the Denver Post back in 2000 I think. We traveled all over colorado. I realize that you are probably looking for places to eat but, if you need a hotel in Durango, check out the Strater Hotel right downtown. It was like $10/night more than a regular hotel and it is amazing. Worth checking out for sure.
Another cool place I remember is O'farrell's Hat shop. If you find yourself in the need for a hand made cowboy hat, check them out. Careful though, they are pricey. Forbes rated them the best in America.

I'll second the Strater. And check out Steamworks Brewery too!

On the off chance you have not left yet, Durango has lots of great restaurants. Zia Taqueria on Main has the best tacos (Nini's adds too much salt). Both Steaming Bean and Durango Coffee Company have excellent coffee, though Steaming Bean has better espresso drinks. The farmers' market on Saturday mornings is awesome and you can pick up bread, fruit, and a breakfast burrito. Cypress Cafe on Second Avenue has thoughtful dishes and is well-priced. Hope this helps!
