Events on this Day

Embark on an Incredible Journey Through the San Juan Mountains!   For a truly unforgettable step back in time, enjoy a leisurely trip to yesteryear riding 3 1/2 hours each way on this steam train plus spend 2 hours in the historic mining town of Silverton to enjoy the sights, shopping, food, and libations that Silverton offers. We’ve been in continuous operation running train excursions on this 45-mile spur of the Denver & Rio Grande rail line since 1882. Much of the scenery remains unchanged since then. There’s no cell service or Wi-Fi through much of the terrain so you’ll be unplugged from the modern world. Soak in the views, listen as the steam whistle echoes through the canyon, hear the vintage locomotive work to pull the train up the grades. If you long to unwind and enjoy Colorado nature at its finest, this is the trip for you.

Twin Buttes' farm-to-table living keeps us connected to locally grown food, the natural world, and each other.   Just above the main entrance to Twin Buttes is our Farm Stand, a seasonal market offering fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, eggs, flowers, and sometimes honey, produced by farmers you'll come to know. We also offer several frozen cuts of grass-fed beef, some pasture-raised right here at Twin Buttes.
