Looking for a nice mountain train ride
Looking for a nice mountain train ride
My wife and I moved to the area a few years ago but still haven't gone on one of these. It looks like there are a ton of them, so I'm wondering if you folks know of any good ones?
You're viewing a single thread.
Most/all of them are nice. Really close is the Colorado Railroad Museum, which had short (15 minute) rides behind a steam train. Georgetown Loop is a bit longer and very nice. Royal Gorge had nice dinner trains
If you are looking for longer rides, Amtrak to Glenwood, Durango/Silverton and Cumbres/Toltec are all stunning.
Georgetown loop is awesome. Also thought there was one in the Leadville area.
I think there is, but haven't been there myself.
I just did the Leadville one. It was pretty cool and nice views but to be completely honest, it was about an hour too long (imo). Also, I have a feeling the other mountain trains might be similar but the seating was uncomfortable. Just food for thought.
Royal Gorge
Does that one go up into the mountains? My inlaws are wanting to ride that one next week but we're over budget this month.
It goes through this canyon:
It's not high up in the mountains, but it's definitely "mountain-y"
If you posted a link, I’m not seeing anything. No worries! I can find the route on Google.
