Riding The Rails

5/25/2019

 
All aboard for a two hour rail excursion along the Arkansas River and through the Royal Gorge. We chose the Vista Dome car for this trip, which offered comfy seating and some amazing views. For lunch we had the Colorado Teriyaki Chicken and Beef Wellington, served up by friendly crew members Kiley and Megan. Adam, on the open air car, did a great job pointing out things along the way and sharing some interesting stories. The depot is located in Cañon City, just a one hour drive from Colorado Springs via Highway 115 South to Highway 50 West. Turn left on 3rd Street and cross the railroad tracks and you’ll find plenty of free parking at the Depot.
