We LOVED this train! It's a 2 hour trip that curves along the bottom of the Royal Gorge, alongside the Arkansas River. It was beautiful, breathtaking, and every other word you can imagine. We spent almost the whole trip standing in the open air car, enjoying the sun and the views. I must have taken a million pictures. I don't... more

I made reservations months in advance, paid extra for the Vistadome seats. The windows were dirty, could hardly see out! We went slowly down the track no one telling us what we were seeing, stopped for twenty minutes and came back. Don't waste your time or money! more

The Depot: Pretty easy to find, where to park was confusing at first, but they have it signed off pretty well. Very clean and well kept, the gift shop is the first thing you walk into and they have plenty of touristy items to browse. Service: Fantastic! Everyone was so nice and helpful, loved all their smiling faces, they seemed... more

Besides paying way too much for coach ($32+ per ticket) the car we were in smelled terrible. The views were nice but if I had to do it over again, I would pass on this trip! more

We went on a 9:30am ride in Coach class and it was a unique and fun thing to do. We sat inside for the first half of the ride and waited to go out to the open air car for the ride back when it was less crowded. When you get on the train sit on the side facing the... more

This has to be one of the nation's finest scenic railroads! I'm a rail buff and riding in Vista Dome was nothing short of breathtaking. The scenery, food and staff were all excellent. After our trip across the Royal Gorge Bridge, the train offered something much better in terms of a quality attraction. We felt like guests on the train... more

I booked the Vista Dome 3 weeks in advance in July for 3 people. I particularly wanted the Vista Dome because it looked comfortable and air conditioned which was important since I was taking my 76 year old mother. Our table was set as a party of two instead of three, so we were placed in another car that was... more

After alot of consideration about which train to take (Royal Gorge, Georgetown, Cripple Creek) we decided on the Gorge. We were very disappointed upon being lead and seated in the Coach car. It had smaller size windows that did not open, was dirty and smelly, etc. Thankfully, we decided to walk to the open air car (which there was only... more

This was very relaxing and a lot of fun. We sat in the coach car and went out to the observation car for about 15 minutes. The music played on the train was fun but after the 8th time "City of New Orleans" and "Walk the Line" played it became a little annoying. This is a great excursion to take... more
