Why I recommend this place to visitors
This is an awesome town, also very easy to navigate because its so small. Be sure to stay at the historic Strater hotel for at least 1 night- it’s beautiful. The town is right in the San Juan National park, so its not far from gorgeous mountain scenery and great hiking spots. And of course you have to ride the train up to Silverton, truly a once in a lifetime experience. I wish I never had to leave!

A tip I have about this place
The trip between Durango and Silverton is extremely scenic, but it’s a longer trip than I anticipated. After riding up there for 3 1/2 hours, we only had a short amount of time to explore Silverton (which is fine because it’s a small little town, but it’s got loads of charm!), and then we were back on the train for 3 1/2 more hours. If you’re looking to maximize your time, I recommend you take the train one way and the bus the other way.
