In 2003, Dave Miller's wife, Paula, told him that he couldn't spend any more money on telescopes,
mounts, and accessories until he could find a way to make money from his astronomy hobby.
In November of 2005, Durango Skies Telescope and Binocular was launched in Durango, Colorado.
Why Durango, Colorado? Because, nestled in the San Juan Mountains at 6,512 feet, it is blessed
with incredible dark skies. It's also a great place to live, work and play. Durango was once a
Wild West mining town and is now a popular tourist destination for skiing, mountain biking,
river rafting, kayaking and the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Mesa Verde
National Park is located just 36 miles to the west.
An avid telescope shopper for many years, Dave was always frustrated by the limited inventory
at most telescope stores. How can you comfortably make a large investment in a 14" scope, if you
can't try it out first? So at Durango Skies we feature an extensive display of telescopes,
spotting scopes, binoculars, observatories and accessories for hands-on evaluation and comparison.
If you live in or are visiting the Four Corners region (Utah/Colorado/Arizona/New Mexico), we
hope you will stop in and say "hello." We have plenty of parking and we're easy to find; just
2 blocks west of the 550/160 junction - only 5 minutes from downtown Durango.
Clear Skies!
Dave and Paula Miller, Owners
