Durango to Silverton and back
About This Trip
Sit back and relax while you travel by bus on the Million Dollar Highway to Silverton. Don’t miss this spectacular roadway, passing through the wild and rugged peaks in the Colorado Rockies and swirling like a ribbon through the San Juan Mountains. With cliffs dropping from the edge of the road, you’ll appreciate our experienced driver and enjoy the trip more than driving yourself! Rated one of the 10 most scenic drives in the U.S, of all the bus trips, this is one not to be missed! Enjoy your day in the quaint, historic mining town of Silverton and then sit back and enjoy the ride back to Durango in the afternoon
