Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad

Part 0 - BONUS!!

Sunrise (of a sort) in Durango, CO

► Before we got started, we saw a rainbow in the clouds when we went for breakfast.

Then, after I dropped dad off at the depot, and was headed to the parking lot,

I saw 3 elk munching on plants at the local graveyard headstone shop.

Definitely harder to breathe, and it was cooler up top. Great ride, lot's to see.
