    Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad - Silverton

    Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad

    One of our favorite scenic adventures in Colorado was riding the Steam Train at the Durango &…read moreSilverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. My son and I planned ahead and purchased our First Class tickets several months in advance to secure our seats. The adults-only First Class car had sold out nearly three months ahead, but we were fortunate to obtain seats in the Prospector First Class car, which welcomes families. The First Class experience was excellent and included comfortable your own attendant, restrooms, individual padded chairs, unlimited nonalcoholic beverages, a souvenir insulated cup, and a keepsake gift bag. Guests were also treated to a blueberry muffin at the start of the trip and a chocolate chip cookie on the return journey, which added a nice touch to the overall experience. The scenery is truly the star of the trip. The breathtaking views of the mountains, river rapids, forests, and rugged canyon landscape are unforgettable and worth the price of admission alone. For the best views, I recommend sitting on the right side of the train traveling to Silverton and on the left side during the return to Durango. While the large windows provide good visibility, I found that photography from the seats can sometimes be obstructed. If capturing great photos is a priority, consider choosing seats near the middle of the car so you can easily anticipate upcoming viewpoints. Alternatively, seats near either end of the car offer quicker access to the outdoor platforms, where the best photographs can be taken. Passengers should be aware that the historic steam locomotive creates a fair amount of movement. The train rocks and sways regularly, which is part of its authentic charm, but those prone to motion sickness may want to take preventative medication before departure. The crew advises maintaining three points of contact whenever moving about the train, which is excellent advice. The journey is approximately three and a half hours each way, with several stops to refill water for the steam engine. While passengers are welcome to bring their own snacks, there is also a food and alcoholic beverage car available for additional purchases. This is certainly not an inexpensive excursion. Our two First Class tickets cost just under $500. When the staff asked whether it was our first train ride, I laughed and thought, "Yes, because this is probably not an everyday experience!" However, after seeing the spectacular scenery, I can honestly say it was worth every dollar. When you arrive in Silverton, I recommend heading directly to the restaurant where you'd like to eat rather than wandering around first. Time is limited, and lunch lines can become quite long. Silverton itself is a charming former mining town filled with restaurants, souvenir shops, and fudge stores. While shopping opportunities are plentiful, expect typical tourist-town pricing. Overall, this was a memorable and worthwhile experience that combined history, adventure, and some of the most stunning scenery in the Southwest. If you're visiting southwestern Colorado, I highly recommend making the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad part of your itinerary. It was an unforgettable highlight of our trip.

    We enjoyed the bus up / train back. Would definitely take that option again as 3.5 hours on a train…read morewas plenty. Beautiful views both ways. Coach was fine. Silverton exceeded expectations with lots of cute gift shops with nice items (not just generic dime store crap). Lots of places to eat as well. Don't miss checking out Blair Street with the Shady Lady among other historic shady activities. Ha! 5 stars. Would train again.
