Mesa Verde & Durango
Ready to chug it up through Colorado’s largest wilderness area? The Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge is one of the best ways to experience the expansive scenery and exciting history of the San Juan Mountains!
For round trips on this old locomotive, the train offers 5 hour rides through Cascade Canyon, or a 10 hour excursion from Durango to Silverton and back.
As a heads up, Mild to Wild is no longer booking tickets for the Durango Train. To grab your seats, visit DurangoTrain.com
