The San Juan Skyway is arguably the most beautiful drive in the country. It is an officially designated scenic byway and for good reason.
The byway links the od mining towns of Ouray and Durango.
If you take the train, the Durango and Silverton's vintage steam locomotive is a great option ($109/person) but call ahead to reserve as these sell out (which we learned the hard way). Silverton is a delightful town with all kinds of one-of-a-kind vintage shops and cafes. A great "go back in time" town that we all loved.
Verdict: Yes, this is absolutely worth seeing. From everyone we talked to, the train is the way to go. But if you aren't able to, then the drive is absolutely still worth it!
