About

For a truly unforgettable step back in time, ride our coal-fired, steam-powered narrow gauge train to the historic mining town of Silverton. Savor the 3 1/2 hour journey of relaxation before you get your epic ATV exploring on! When you arrive in Silverton hop off your train and skip over one block to your Hotel, The Bent Elbow. Check in and go out and visit our Quant little Mining town and enjoy a wonderful lunch at one of our many restaurants in town. Head over to San Juan Backcountry Headquarters at 2:15 for a Truly unforgettable ATV excursion. When you get back to town you will have a bit to shop before heading back to your hotel where you will step back in time for a wonderful dinner (provided by San Juan Backcountry and Bent Elbow Restaurant and Saloon). The next morning you will just have to go down stairs to enjoy an eye opening breakfast before you head back over to San Juan Backcountry Headquarters to get all geared up for yet another epic ATV/UTV adventure.
