12: Durango & Silverton Railroad - A MUST ride!!!!

The Grande Tour Episode 12.
Day 7: 15th July 2023

Voted USA Today's No.1 best scenic train ride in the country, the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is an incredibly special rail experience. The route being one of only two preserved sections of the old Denver & Rio Grande Western's narrow gauge network (the other being the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad), the Durango & Silverton is what was known as "The Silverton" back in Rio Grande days.
This ride (which is best taken by steam power!) carries you from Durango, and into the timeless and stunningly beautiful scenery that is the Animas Canyon, along dare-devil cliffs and following the river all the way to Silverton: a characterful and old style town.
