A popular outting in the San Juan Backcountry is to take the Train from Durango to Silverton, and, once in Silverton, take our Mine Shuttle to visit the Old Hundred Gold Mine.

This train was originally used to haul gold ore, but the picturesque scenery was so priceless that now this train transports sightseers back and forth 3 times a day between Durango and Silverton, Colorado.

San Juan Backcountry will take you from the Train Stop at Silverton to the Old Hundred Gold Mine Tour, which is approximately 5 miles out of town, near Howardsville.
