Description:
This two-night getaway for two offers value and convenience by combining your lodging in the "Old West" town of Durango with round trip tickets on the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
You'll stay at your choice of lodging in Durango, Co. The next morning you'll ride the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, which winds through the spectacular and breathtaking canyons in the remote wilderness of the two million acre San Juan National Forest. You will relive history with the sights and sounds of yesteryear on this 1882 adventure from Durango to Cascade Canyon. The coal-fired, steam-operated locomotives are maintained in their original 1923-1925 vintage condition. In Durango, take time to enjoy the Railroad Museum, located in the rail yard roundhouse featuring full-size locomotives, maps, photos, artwork, memorabilia, and authentic collectibles.
The train departs at 10am and stops for a 60-minute break by the rushing Animas River at Cascade Canyon at Noon. Light lunch items are available on the concession car on board the train. Following the break, the train returns to Durango with arrival at 3:00pm.
Note: Train tickets for children under 5 are free if seated on an adult's lap. If a seat is required, you must purchase a child's ticket.
