As mentioned in other threads, if in that Durango to Silverton area, may also want to take the narrow gauge train ride that parallels the highway. It’s spectacular.

If you take the Durango and Silverton train, get the option to ride the bus back. It's a beautiful ride up, but a long, tedious and uncomfortable (those wooden seats are hard) on the way back. Going up it's all anticipation, but going back, its what you just saw. It's about 3 hours by the train and an hour by the bus. So unless you are devoted train rider, you will appreciate the bus ride back.
The time took the train, the bus was full and we rode the train back. Reservations in the summer and fall are necessities. By the time we bought tickets we could only get the regular car and no bus ride.
