"Riding the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is a must — no matter when you visit. In the winter, the narrow gauge steam train departs from the downtown Durango depot and makes its way to Cascade Canyon in the San Juan National Forest. Along the ride, guests take in magnificent views of the snow-covered San Juan Mountains while relaxing in heated coaches. The train takes a 60-minute stop at Cascade Canyon, the perfect setting for a fireside lunch, photo opportunities, or a walk along the Animas River before returning to downtown." - Travel + Leisure Editors
