We were in Durango for four nights. On Monday we took a bus up to Silverton and rode the train back to Durango. The train ride was three and a half hours long.  There was a rock slide that took about a half hour to clear.

When we arrived in Silverton we were at about 10,000 feet in altitude. The weather made the day very memorable.  When we started down the weather kept improving.

Silverton has only one paved street and about about 200 year round residence.

The weather in Durango has been windy, highs in the mid sixty’s and the lows at night going below freezing.

We leave here on Wednesday for  dry camping in Mesa Verde for three days
