About Silverton
Silverton sits at 9,305 feet in a deep valley, a mining town frozen above timberline, surrounded by 13,000-foot peaks on all sides. The train journey from Durango is the prime access, a ride through landscapes inaccessible by road. Silverton remains a working town despite tourist influx, authentic rather than theme-park.
