I have always stayed here. It's not bad. In the middle of downtown.

We are looking for a show of hands from anyone interested in riding the narrow gauge train, one way, from Durango to Silverton as a side trip during this year's Ouray trip.
We did this a few years ago and it was a lot of fun. Drivers volunteer to drive train riders to Durango then meet the riders in Silverton where we have lunch. We wheel after lunch.
For more info on the train, go to www.durangotrain.com. Round trip tickets are $65 for adults and $35 for kids 5-11 years old. Under 5 are free but must sit on a lap. They do not sell one way tickets.
Ouray to Silverton is 23 miles, Silverton to Durango is 47 miles. 70 miles total.
Anyone interested?
I should be OK in a stock 80 with a mild lift, right?
We will leave the hot springs pool parking lot at 8:00 AM each morning.

is there a link with pictures of the trail? I would love to show it to the boss and see if she wants to go.
The train ride will be on Sunday so all train riders should make reservations for the 9:00AM train on Sunday, September 2nd, in the gondola car. Go to www.durangotrain.com. The train should pull into the Silverton station about 12:30. We will leave Ouray for Durango at 7:00AM sharp.
All train riders should plan on driving their cruisers from Ouray to Silverton on Sunday morning. At that point, vehicles will either be parked for the morning in Silverton or a volunteer driver may drive train riders to the Durango station. That way, when the train arrives, we can take off for an afternoon of wheeling without returning to Ouray to get a cruiser.
If train riders eat lunch on the train and all others eat lunch before the train pulls into Silverton, we should be able to drive out of Silverton by 1:00PM.
Wheeling on Sunday may include Animas Forks, Engineer Pass, Cinnamon Pass, or Corkscrew Gulch.
Without sliders. When we went in 2006, we had just removed the running boards. No real threat of any damage at all.
