The Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad stops at Elk Park, where you can access the Elk Creek Trail (#503) and at Needleton, where you can access the Needle Creek Trail (#504). For trail information, please call the San Juan Public Lands Center at 970-247-4874, or visit the Forest Web site at http://www.fs.fed.us/r2/sanjuan. You can go to Recreation Information and check out the Columbine Ranger District Trails information. For train ticket and schedule information, please visit http://www.durangotrain.com PLEASE BE AWARE that the train drops you off at high elevations. If you are coming from sea level, or low elevation, please be careful about overexerting yourself before you can acclimate to the high altitude.
