Durango-Silverton Train

The day was spent (7 hours), traveling from Durango to Silverton and back.  About 60 miles each way plus several hours in the old mining town.  A unique high elevation trip on an old steam locomotive. Actually a tiring day swaying back and forth on old narrow gauge rail, but a great experience and fantastic views. Lots of rocks, trees, rapids, 4,000' peaks overhead, 500' shear cliffs, and steam, smoke, and cinder.
