Travel in an open-air gondola and be even closer to the sights and sounds of this historic adventure. Bench-style seating accommodates five across. Because of the changing mountain climate and the increase in elevation from Durango to Silverton, we strongly encourage you to dress in layers of clothing. Silverton (9350') usually averages about 10 degrees cooler than Durango (6512').
