Along the river |
Description: |
The DSNG runs on a former Rio Grande narrow gauge track built along the Animas River. Some parts of it are quite rugged, with deep canyons. There are a few places where the gorge is not so deep, and the river is a lot calmer. We roll along one of them here, with a good view from the train. |
