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!

Great video, looks like it was a wonderful area to explore. Thanks for the video.
It really was, thanks 😊
Enjoyed the Silverton Durango scenic train ride and fun packed informative video. Thanks.
We did too, thanks Norman! 🙌🏻
The train ride scenery was gorgeous! And the parade was fun to watch. Durango is now on our list of places to explore! 😀

Thanks, it is definitely worthy! 🙌🏻
Thank you for taking us along !! ❤
You’re welcome!
Thanks for sharing. Such an Awesome place to visit. Love the train.
It’s really cool! 😎
Absolutely gorgeous views. Thank You!
You’re welcome ☺️
Love Durango and that train ride! I did the half day one and loved it.
Cool!
Hello from Ouray, Colorado; just up the road from Durango and Silverton! Thank you so much for an awesome video of the area!! Safe travels!!
We really wanted to go to Ouray but it was a little too late in the season because things were closing down, looking forward to getting back to enjoy Ouray as well!
Making us want to get back out west so badly! Great video, that train ride…. 😍
Thanks, it was beautiful 🤩
Thanks... we enjoyed Durango when visiting Mesa Verde. We used La Plata County Fairgrounds as our base camp. Will be going back because Mesa Verde deserves more time.
Absolutely 💯
Fabulous!!!
Thanks 😊
Another awesome video! You 2 are just great and you keep adding more to my bucket list!
That’s our job! 😂
We took the train and stayed were you stayed. It was cool watching the train go by. Nice taking the train ride again. Next time you should drive the million dollar highway to Ouray. The drive between Silverton and Ouray is awesome. The road is very curvy. Well worth the drive. 😊
Totally agree with that, we will have to do that next time!
We stayed in Durango this past summer and really enjoyed it - and cannot wait to go back. We stayed at the Alpen Rose RV Park.
😎
Very Cool! My dad was born in Silverton.
Really cool! 🙌🏻
The train! On my bucket list. Just beautiful scenery but a tad scary too. Love it!
Never got scared at all because during those big drop areas you are not going very fast, your mind is just busy enjoying the beautiful scenery! ❤️
We were there a few months before you in July 2022 staying at Alpen Rose, another resort a few miles north of town. Durango was awesome and highly recommended. It was the last major stop of a month long trip that included Yellowstone (we entered a day after they reopened after the floods), Grand Tetons and the Utah parks. It was as enjoyable as those locations in a different way. RVers need to hit Durango in their travels.
Thanks David, we totally agree! 👍🏻
I remember getting pretty grimy on that open air trip from the engine smoke but the view was beautiful
That is definitely possible if you are close to the front! 😯
Love your efforts and the train is awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks ☺️
Anytime!!
Thanks for sharing Durango. We hope to go next year.
Cool!
lets go love yall
Thanks 😊
We did that in 2020. It was a great ride.
😎
Great video! I love that area so much.
Thanks ☺️
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'..
That’s funny right there! 😂
Interesting we always wanted to take a train ride!!
It’s just a day trip, lots of fun! 🤩
We’re you all in Branson Mo the week of July 4. I saw a rig like yours and it was gorgeous. I hadn’t discovered your channel then but I have enjoyed watching your videos
Wasn’t us but glad you found our channel! Welcome 🤗
We loved this video, that's where we want to go during our next year long trip. Thanks for all the tips in town places and the campground. That's exactly where we will stay. Sorry it rained a bunch on you, what month did ya'll go? Thanks for doing such a great video we learned a lot. We can't wait to visit the area.😊
Last couple days of September through the first week of October! 😊
Thanks guys
Love your videos, (Ismael n Mary)
Thanks y’all! 😊
I hope you visited Vallecito Lake while there. Beautiful scenery,
Hi Pops, hope all is well. We think we saw you a couple weeks ago in Angleton, you were driving out of a bank parking lot as we were pulling in but you were passed us before we figured it out! About the Lake we missed it, next time!
@@rvamericayall Well shucky-darn!! My phone number and email are still the same. I'd love to buy you two lunch when you are back in the area.
If we get back there we will let you know!
La Kings rules. Nothing better. Bet y’all are hitting it now while in Galveston.
You are correct, got a malt just the other day! 😊
Looks like another great trip to Durango. I’ve been enjoying your videos for the last few years, almost since you started, and have been wondering about two questions. You’ve mentioned having had a business. I’m wondering what type of business you owned. Also, you’ve mentioned an interest in photography. I am wondering whether you share your photos anyplace online? Keep up great travels and great videos!
Back before we full timed we had a direct mail business that we sold! We post pictures on our posts on our website

I THOUGHT that was Freedom when you filmed the campground from the train! Jayman...
I definitely was! 😊
The Volta system is what makes a Liberty Coach (Prevost Bus upfitter) one of the best Motorcoaches you can buy. I think they have 3 of those batteries. But hey, that’s $2.9 million for a new one. And that’s why any mass towable manufacturer won’t commit to offering this system. Now on a Luxe, DRV, New Horizon or Spacecraft it can make sense.
I understand all that but just curious, what does that have to do with Durango???
You guys do a great job with your videos Iv been talking note.Last March out in nappanee we talked for a few at the service center. Do you go back to the service center every year
We do Greg! Thanks 😊
Fabulous video! Durango looks beautiful 😍 I would love to ride that train. So in Albuquerque are you going to the Hot Air Balloon Festival?
Yes we are! 😊
That's awesome! I can't wait for the video. 🙂🙂🙂
@adriannurse1502 tomorrow!
@@rvamericayall The Hot Air Balloon Festival is on my bucket list 🙂
Great video. About how long of a car ride is it from Durango to Silverton?
We didn’t drive there so not sure 🤔
was wondering if yall are ok your videos are a year old, hope every thing ok
Yes, we’re OK, our 5 year FT Anniversary Video last week was almost live, just catching up on some past footage! 😊
No to Colorado to many drug users and DemocRats
Neither of those affected our visit!
