You Can Ride This Seasonal Train In Colorado For Only $29

The Georgetown Loop. The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge. You have heard of all of these iconic year-round Colorado trains, but did you know that there is one must-ride train that only runs seasonally? If you are looking for an affordable wintertime route, you will want to check out the one and only Winter Park Express:

Running from Downtown Denver to - you guessed it! - beautiful Winter Park, the Winter Park Express is a one-of-a-kind ride from the heart of the city to one of America's most iconic slopes!

Open January through April, the Winter Park Express offers comfortable seating in Coach class, which includes access to the bi-level Sightseeing Lounge, plus giant picture windows.

As if you needed another reason to ride the Winter Park Express, each journey features jaw-dropping views of the surrounding landscape, including the famed Moffat Tunnel!

Moffat Tunnel looks cool and also has a fascinating history, as it provided Denver with a railroad connection to western Colorado (via the Continental Divide)! To learn more, check out A Unique Structure In Colorado, The Moffat Tunnel Has A Fascinating History.
