Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad
Running since 1882, the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad winds through the rugged peaks of the San Juan Mountains between historic Durango and the old mining town of Silverton. Restored original team-powered locomotives carry passengers along the same tracks that once served Colorado’s mining frontier.
In partnership with Mild to Wild Rafting & Jeep Tours, the Trails & Rails package combines this iconic train ride with a guided Silverton Jeep tour. This combo offers travelers the perfect blend of history, scenery, and high-country exploration in one unforgettable day.
Purgatory Resort
Located in the rugged San Juan Mountains in southwest Colorado, Purgatory Resort is only 25 miles north of historic downtown Durango. Carved by glaciers thousands of years ago, Purgatory offers a unique blend of steep tree skiing trails and wide-open cruisers with stunning views.
For nearly six decades, the visionaries, leaders, and stakeholders of Purgatory Resort have focused on one mission: to give people like you the freedom to ski. As the ultimate collaborative, creative project, the establishment of Purgatory and its evolution into the premier family ski destination in the Southwest is a story of camaraderie, community, and a commitment to inspiring change one mountain at a time.
