Sarah Sturm and her sidekick Norman are Durango locals in every sense of the word. They ride, hike, ski, run, climb and share tents together. Norman is a rescue dog turned mountain mutt who doesn’t let his poultry allergy slow him down. He loves following Sarah on her adventures, especially on the bike (he’s a much faster runner than she is). Sarah raced bikes professionally and is now an avid high-country mountain biker and adventurer. While she loves exploring overseas, nothing beats going on micro-adventures with her best friend, Norman. Together they embody the Durango lifestyle.
