Miles:
0 by car / 100 by train
We
rode the Durango-Silverton Railroad today from Durango to Silverton
and back. If you are a train person, this is one of the great
American rail lines. It is 3 ½ hours each direction so it was the
entire day's event. Our pictures do not adequately capture what we
saw. The ride is special, not only because of the train, but because
it provides the only access to many of these views. In Silverton, we
ate lunch at the Pickle Barrel and toured the town. The town is
quite picturesque with a single paved road and surrounded by
mountains. When we returned to Durango, we ate dinner on the patio
of The Palace and did some more shopping. We ended the day with a
movie back at the hotel; "Cars" of course.
