We did the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad excursion today. It was a 5 hr. (r/t) tour. Our final destination was Cascade Canyon since this is still considered a winter season. During the summertime, the train ride continue to Silverton which is a cute mining town. Of course it is a longer trip and doesn't stop at Cascade. Since it is not crowded, after the conductor checked our tickets, we were allowed to move to any vacant spot. The weather was beautiful so we decided to stay in the open air gondola. I was worried about the soot and the cold weather at first but turned out to be the best seat. The tail of the train gives the best view esp. when the train turns to the cliffs. The whistling sound of the old time train made me travel back in time during the 1800's. What an awesome experience we had (and no soot in my nose and clothes..ha!)
