You can ride in an authentic narrow gauge caboose aboard a special Durango & Silver train to RailCamp, a narrow gauge boxcar refurbished as a wilderness recreational vehicle. Located in secluded area in Cascade Canyon about half way to Silverton, RailCamp can house up to four outdoor enthusiasts.
D&SNG railroad officials believe that their RailCamp excursion into the mountain wilderness is unique, possibly the only one in the country. Backpackers, fishing enthusiasts and hikers may make arrangements to get off the train at Tall Timber Resort, Needleton and Elk Park. Two hydraulic wheelchair lifts also are available in a specially designed car for handicapped persons.
