Looking to get out of the Texas heat and humidity for a week or two in early August. Any ideas as to whether Durango or Maggie Valley might be best? Restaurants, things to do, etc.
Having been to both -- and having both in my top 5 -- if you are looking to escape the HEAT an HUMIDITY, no contest Colorado and the Mountains.

To have a view like this with lows in the 40's is just about Heaven.
One summer in Golden it got to the mid 90's every day for a couple of weeks to we headed up to Leadville -- 10,000 feet and had to wear a sweater to Dinner. That' what I call an escape.
If you go to chase the wild women of NC be sure to service the A/C in the 5'er and bring shorts, just no real escape in those mountains.
