You’ll enjoy the wild alpine scenery and relive history on this 1882 adventure from Durango to Cascade Canyon. Many of the coal-fired, steam-operated locomotives are maintained in their original 1923-1925 vintage condition. You can also take time to enjoy the Railroad Museum, located in the rail yard roundhouse featuring full-size locomotives, maps, photos, artwork, memorabilia and authentic collectibles.
For more winter fun, add optional discounted activities to your package. Choose from Purgatory Resort lift tickets and rentals, snowmobiling, horse-drawn sleigh rides, and Mesa Verde National Park tours.
