The Skyway Tour

The Skyway Tour

Begin your adventure in Durango and choose your route: ride the historic steam or modern diesel train to Silverton and return by motorcoach along the scenic 52-mile San Juan Skyway, or take the Skyway first and enjoy a relaxing train ride back. This unforgettable journey offers the best of both worlds—breathtaking views and a taste of Colorado’s rich railroad heritage.
