Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad

 We took the Durango Silverton steam train about half way to Silverton. We didn't know until we booked it that the trip that goes all the way to Silverton sells out months in advance. Even the half trip is beautiful, from Durango you head up a valley into a gorge high over the river.

 

We stopped near the river for lunch and time to hike a little.

I had my tripod so I spent some time playing with long exposures.
