The Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge RR - departing Durango - July 26.

What a magnificent day - with great promise. We purchased tickets for the bus ride to Silverton (guided tour) which would bring us to Silverton. We then could take in the ambiance, stroll and eat and take the train back down. Did I mention the horrific rain storms the night before? In this part of the country, that can lead to some powerful changes in local topography. In this case, it meant a rock slide, blocking the track. This meant a ride back in the bus - with a full refund + an earlier start on this leg of the journey. All in all, not bad!We dined at Grumpy's , but should have followed the recommendation from our driver and gone to Mother Cluckers. Silverton - **** Charming, with great things to see and do.
