Oh, I've been to Dunton. In fact, i'll be out that way in two weeks. My husband and I travel to Telluride, CO every summer. Dunton is very close by and yes extremely beautiful.
Telluride is a tiny mountain town that sits in valley surrounded by 12 - 14, 000 ft. mountains. There is no traffic lights, only a four way stop and the most fabulous restaurants. We hike, horseback ride all day and eat like royalty in the evening.
