We spent today riding the train from Durango to Silverton. Always a favorite of ours. The weather went from 80 degrees F to the low 60s as we climbed the mountain and we met rain and hail along the way with great bits of sunshine along the way. In Silverton we enjoyed a walk around town, visited the train store, and some ice cream before getting back on the train. After a hard day with soot and smoke, Drew and Sean enjoyed some time at the hotel pool.
