Overview

Experience the adventure of traveling by a historic coal-fired, steam-powered locomotive on the same tracks miners, cowboys and settlers of the Old West took over a century ago. Wind through spectacular and breathtaking canyons in the remote wilderness of the two-million-acre San Juan National Forest for an unforgettable journey.

Please note: The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is open and is running The Cascade Canyon Express. These train excursions travel to Cascade Canyon Tuesdays–Saturdays through October 31. On these excursions, experience the iconic canyon views along the highline in just over 2 hours, complete with incredible geological features and jaw-dropping scenery. This trip departs from Rockwood Station (located 18 miles north of Durango), traveling deep into wilderness inaccessible by any roads. The Durango Train has cancelled passenger train service to Silverton for the remaining 2020 summer season due to COVID-19 restrictions.
