Royal Gorge Route Railroad, Cañon City

Such an amazing experience on the Royal Gorge. I got a coach ticket with a bunch of my friends and it doesn’t come with anything but the seat. The good thing is that you can order from your waiter/waitress or you can just walk around the train and order from the bar. I walked to another empty train car that was closer to the open train car and got comfortable with no issues. The restaurant has quality food so I can see why some people did first class. Bartenders are super friendly and have heavy hands as well. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience!

This was an absolutely amazing experience! we took the holiday express train on new years Eve day at 12:30pm and it ended up being sunny and 60 degrees, which was perfect for the open air car! No matter what spot you get on the train, anyone can access the open air car. The train was not going that fast either, so it wasn’t too windy to be out in the open air car while it’s moving. The views are incredible and the train cars are very well kept and clean! We took the holiday train, which was decked out in holiday decor, played holiday music, and even had a festive menu. The food was great, and the service was also great. The servers also were giving historic snippets along the train ride in between serving. They were also very punctual with taking off at 12:30, and pulling back in exactly at 2:30. It’s an ‘out and back’ route, and NOT a loop. The train also stops underneath the big bridge on the way back so people can get pictures in the open air car. Overall a super great experience and we will definitely be back!
