Visit Durango, Colorado | Durango Silverton Steam Train | RV America Y'all

This week we take you along as we visit beautifully scenic Durango CO. Riding the Durango-Silverton Steam Train has been on our bucket list for decades and the Durango train was the main attraction that brought us to Durango.

But we quickly discovered that there is a lot more to do in Durango Colorado than just riding the narrow gauge railroad (although the ride is bucketlist worthy!).

🤠 Thanks For Watching!

We are Tom and Stacie Langland, known for 10 years as RV Texas Y'all.

We are Native Texans and Full-Time RVers who are all about exploring the Great State of Texas and America one campground at a time. We're on a mission to experience life, not just live it and we're bringing you along for the fun.

In 2018, we sold our house, our business and gave away just about everything we own to hit the road and see America. Our home is a 33' motorhome named Freedom. We installed an extreme solar and lithium battery setup so now we can camp just about anywhere with our dog (Star) and our cat (Astro).

Every day is a new adventure, so join us as we RV America Y'all.

Safe Travels and Happy Camping!

As we know, Coors Beer advertises that it is made from pure Rocky Mountain spring water. Whenever I pass the Animas River, I always think, "this is Coors Beer, Part 1'..

I remember getting pretty grimy on that open air trip from the engine smoke but the view was beautiful
