Views were incredible. Even though the weather was rainy, it still was great. It can get long for children but fun at the same time. Great ride for train buffs. Highly recommended .

We looked forward to our ride on the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and were not disappointed. It was exciting and the scenery was wonderful- through rugged mountains and alongside a rushing river/ stream. We recommend the open air car where the seating faced outward on both sides.

Part of the days package on San Juan was a collector mug you could re-fill for free all day with anything... More

We had a great time but it is a long day there and back! We rode in one of the open cars and were covered in grit by the end, but loved every minute of it!
