What A Ride! Thank You for Riding the First-Ever Durango Bluegrass Train!
The views, the bluegrass, and the memories made along the way.
Thank you to everyone who joined us aboard the first-ever Durango Bluegrass Train on May 28-30. From the incredible musicians to the foot-stomping fans, generous partners, and historic train crew, you helped make this inaugural event one we'll never forget.
Over three amazing days, guests enjoyed live bluegrass music, spectacular views of the San Juan Mountains, local craft beverages, and plenty of time to relax, connect, and enjoy the ride. The energy on board was incredible, and we're thrilled that Friday evening and Saturday departures sold out in our very first year.
Whether you traveled from across the country or joined us from right here in Durango, thank you for being part of something special. Seeing so many people come together to celebrate great music, beautiful scenery, and historic rail travel was truly inspiring.
