An hour bus ride up to Silverton from Durango and another three hours train ride back down is an exhilirating experience. The fact that it is isolated or rather nestled 12,5000 feet in the Rockies, gives me a taste of what it would be like going to the Swiss Alps or in some remote villages in Vienna that i only see in outdated calendars in my own outdated town. Serene.Tranquil. A sense of history. What with the 1800's bordellos and brightly-colored Victorian houses. Did i mention the oldest train in the world still in operation?
