Now – October 11

Experience the majesty of the San Juan Mountains without the nine-hour commitment on the Silverton Express, the perfect 5.5-hour excursion for “time-crunched” travelers and families with young children. Your adventure begins at 12:00 PM with a scenic motorcoach ascent via the Million Dollar Highway for just a $10 bus fare, arriving in Silverton just in time for a historic stroll before boarding the 2:00 PM steam train. This adventure does not leave much time for exploring Silverton.  

You’ll experience the legendary “Highline” cliffs and the Animas River as you descend into Durango, enjoying the full magic of our historic rail line while returning by 5:30 PM—leaving your morning free and your evening open for dinner.
