Silverton is a great place to visit - agreed. And while a couple of weeks is a long time from now, currently HWY 550 between Silverton and Durango is closed every night from 6 PM to 8 AM, closed at other times as necessary due to smoke or fire activity and traffic is only allowed in "caravans" led by police escort.
Just a heads up that this might not change that much in the next couple of weeks.
