Silverton Things to Do Tips by Easty

Durango and Silverton Railroad

Silverton is the northern terminus for the Durango and Silverton Railroad. The Durango and Silverton Railroad is one of the most scenic train trips in America, in my opinion. The round trip, which I highly recommend, takes about 9 hours. Through this train trip, you will see some of the best scenery in Colorado.

Directions: Silverton Station is located on 12th Street

Million Dollar Highway (US 550)

The main road through this region of Colorado is the Million Dollar Highway. There are some breathtaking views from this road. I was on this road in 1981, but not this time around. But I remember it was quite scenic.

Directions: US Route 550

Town Hall

The town hall in Silverton was built in 1908. Interesting design!! It is almost like a church.

Main Street

Main Street in Silverton is like taking a trip back in time to the late 19th Century. There were many old style saloons and a couple of hotels here. It just had that old west feel to it. Main Street also had many shops with nice souvenirs.
