Friday - Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad
Friday morning we took the Durango & Silverton narrow gauge steam railroad. This historic steam train ride to the unique mining town of Silverton. The tracks run along steep mountain sides and climb into beautiful San Juan National Forest. What a fun 3 1/2 hour trip from Durango to Silverton. We were in the last car which afforded us views out the back or on the platform in front of our car. Beautiful scenery and oh, so fun! We had time for lunch in Silverton and to walk around a bit before returning on a bus via highway 550 to Durango.

Saturday evening - Bar D Chuckwagon
Located under the red cliffs in the Animas Valley, a few miles north of Durango, the Bar D has been open every summer evening since 1969, offering a live stage show and chuckwagon supper. The show starts after a delicious barbecue supper of which we chose a rib-eye steak with baked potato, baked beans, applesauce, biscuit and spice cake. The Bar D Wranglers performed songs about the Old West.
Sunday - 1/2 day Jeep Tour
After the jeep tour we went downtown for lunch and enjoyed a delicious hamburger at Old Tymer's Cafe. Sunday evening we had a pot roast three course meal at the Strater Hotel. It is Durango's most prominent downtown landmark. We enjoyed "Danny Boy" at the Strater Theater after dinner.
