Special Packages

The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad has teamed up with other great local companies to provide the following packages to you:

Soaring Tree Top Adventures

In a remote valley of Colorado lives Soaring Tree Top Adventures, a new extreme zip line adventure and the only one of its kind in the continental United States. Soar through and above the Aspens on the highest quality stainless steel cable or zip line from platform to platform, designed to be reminiscent of an Elfin village like something out of Lord of the Rings. Touch down on the next platform and catch your breath and be assured that the platforms are attached to three-century-old Ponderosa pine trees in an unobtrusive manner that even has arborists’ attention and gives the term "tree hugger" new meaning. Call 1-970-769-2357 or visit the Soaring Tree Top Adventures web site for more information. Advance reservations required.
