TAKE THE SCENIC ROUTE
The Royal Gorge Route Railroad isn’t just a train ride — it’s your ticket to the most jaw-dropping canyon in North America. Picture this: towering granite walls rising over 1,000 feet above you, the wild Arkansas River roaring beside you, and views so close you can almost touch them. No car, bus, or hike gets you this deep into Colorado’s grandest canyon — only the train does. You’ll enjoy a 24 mile round trip train ride from Canon City, Colorado to Parkdale, Colorado and return.
You’ll roll through this epic scenery in style — whether you choose our iconic Vista Dome, cozy Deluxe, or classic Coach service. Every class comes with something extra available for purchase: mouthwatering meals, prepared to order for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, cooked fresh right on board. Pair your entrée with a local craft beer, a glass of wine from somewhere fabulous, or your favorite cocktail from our fully stocked bar.
Want the true Royal Gorge thrill? Step onto our open-air cars and feel the wind in your hair as you spot bighorn sheep, soaring eagles, and those impossibly blue Colorado skies. Breathe it all in — this is the real deal, pure Colorado adventure. You’ll
