The adventure starts at 7:45 am with check-in at our office. Then, at 8:00 am we're ready to roll via van to visit the authentic mining town of Silverton, Colorado, nestled deep in the San Juan Mountains.

Upon arrival in Silverton, we transfer to open Jeeps to visit Ghost Towns and abandoned Gold and Silver Mines at an altitude of 13,000 feet, where we provide a light snack overlooking the scenic Silverton area.

We then return to Silverton for shopping, sightseeing and a lunch break, where this friendly community shares its warm smiles and Southwestern greetings.

At 2:45 pm, we embark on a meandering journey aboard the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (D&SNGRR), one of the most breathtaking locomotive engines ever to traverse the West.

With plenty of daylight, novice as well as professional photographers, can capture the scenic beauty of the Weminuche Wilderness Area.
