Durango, Co. 10-10-10

Our tickets for the train were for Sunday, 10-10, so we spent most of Saturday looking and shopping in ( it seemed like) every store in Durango. I will say, we had a very good lunch and cool beverages at the Steamworks Brewery. 
Sunday we were up early and at the train station in plenty of time. With jackets, tickets and cameras in hand we boarded for our trip to Silverton. The trip this year was a little later than our trip a couple of years ago so I feel the colors were more brilliant with the Aspens and other trees and plants in Fall colors. After 3 hours we arrived in Silverton, we had time for lunch and a little shopping. We boarded back up at 2:30 PM and headed back to Durango. What a beautiful day and wonderful experience on the D&S Narrow Gauge.. Carol and I have made this trip twice now and it was just as enjoyable the second time as the first.
