Review:
The Rocky Mountains are no joke—the steep slopes and sharp turns made it incredibly difficult for passage, and that’s why narrow gauge railroads were built. The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is more scenic than functional these days, but it is truly a spectacular way to get around. Passengers can traverse the 45 mile track through dramatic mountain landscapes, and even opt to add other exciting and educational stops like a tour of the historic Silverton Mines. Throughout the year, the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad offers plenty of great, seasonal events, like a pumpkin patch ride, a Polar Express ride, and even some great Wine & Rails or Brew Train events.
