Train ride through the Rockies: adventure and relaxation for all ages
|
| The Leadville Railroad takes passengers into the Rocky Mountains. Adventure, relaxation and sightseeing cannot be topped when riding in the Rocky Mountains on board the Leadville Colorado & Southern Railroad. This 2 and ½ hour adventure through the untamed wilderness of the San Isabel National Forest is not to be forgotten. Family and friends of all ages have a chance to engage in learning about the historic Leadville, Colorado, take time to hear about the fascinating history of the railroads, ghost stories and tales of the wild from the conductor on board the trip.
Other highlights include a chance to meet the engineer, take a tour of the caboose and engine. Zipline and rafting package combos are available, If you come in July and August warm weather exceeds expectations at 75°, it is not surprising to find snow through June and in late September. Although cool, the fall colors are not to be missed with amazing displays of gold, red and orange Aspen trees lighting up the mountain side. Bring a picnic lunch and eat on the train if you wish, but be sure to not forget your cameras and jackets. |
