This package was first rate! The car travel from Durango to Silverton was so scenic. The driver shared history of the area, weather tips, and personal experiences of living in the area. Once in Silverton we transferred to a Jeep. And off the main road to a path up in the forest and nearly 12,000 ft! We saw remnants of mines, waterfalls, and just being in the midst of the San Juan Mtns is indescribable beautiful and humbly the power of nature.

The Trails and Rails package showcases the San Juan's stunning scenery. Begin with a morning cruise up the San Juan Skyway, featuring dramatic views of 14,000 ft. peaks. In historic Silverton, switch to open-air 4x4s for rugged terrain exploration. Discover 150-year-old mining settlements, meadows, and panoramic mountain views. Your local guide provides stories, information, and answers questions. After alpine exploration, return to Silverton for lunch and shopping. The journey's final leg is a train ride through the breathtaking Animas River Canyon. The train views differ from the shuttle, offering a remote Weminuche Wilderness perspective. Arrive at the train station for dinner.
