AboutPaul Rabe Expertise I have seen ALMOST every film with an appearance by The Duke, made since 1940, and a couple dozen of those before then. If it's a film with him, I've most likely seen it, have an opinion on it, and can try to answer questions about it.
Experience I saw my first film where Wayne makes an appearance almost fifty years ago. Since then, I have seen 102 films where he makes an appearance.

Question I read somewhere once that John Wayne loved staying in either Silverton,CO
or Durango,CO. I can't remember the name of the place/hotel that he stayed
at. Does anyone know where he stayed at in either of these towns? My
parent's anniversary is coming up and they would like to visit these 2 towns
but I thought it would be an extra treat if they could lodge where John Wayne
has. Please help?!
Answer I did Internet searches for
"john wayne" durango
"john wayne" silverton
and found the following that may be of interest:

Note that Wayne owned land near Durango MEXICO.

I have no way of knowing if the "John Wayne Room" is where the Duke stayed, or if it's filled with Wayne kitsch.
The Durango - Silverton Railroad has been filmed in many westerns, including those with John Wayne.
Other than this, I can give no further information.
