Then switch in Silverton - have the folks who took the train drive back to Durango. That way you would only have to buy 6 tickets. It is a very long ride and this is a great solution if you can manage it. One-Way to Silverton. We would like to have our car driven to Silverton to meet us.
Most people drive their car up the night before and drive back with a friend.
But if you have no friend - you have a problem. My husband and I will be vacationing in Durango in September. We plan on taking the train ride to Silverton one day. While in Silverton, I would like to go on the Hundred Mine Tour. Hopefully within walking distance.
