    Tickets are non-refundable. You can change date/time/type of car before your trip date if capacity allows; changes cost $6.00 per ticket. No refunds for no-shows or late arrivals.

    FAQs

    Plan to board 30 minutes before departure. Tickets are held at will call, and you need to check in at the Depot before boarding.

    It depends on the car. General seating is first come, first served. Lounge car seats are fixed and assigned, and the railroad may change seat selections if needed.

    Dress for high-elevation conditions (around 10,000 feet). Bring layers for all weather; even summer can be cool, and winter can be below freezing when you step out of heated lounge cars.

    This scenic mountain railroad near Leadville is a consistent crowd-pleaser, earning high marks for its breathtaking Rocky Mountain views, friendly staff, and well-organized boarding experience. The two-hour round trip climbs to elevations around 11,000 feet, offering panoramic scenery that passengers describe as stunning in both summer and winter. Lounge car upgrades are worth considering, as they come with food, drinks, and a more comfortable setup. The onboard narration adds historical context that many riders find genuinely interesting. A few practical things to know before booking: tickets sell out fast, so advance purchase is strongly recommended. Seating arrangements can occasionally split up groups of three or more. Most importantly, Leadville has very limited rideshare options, so having your own vehicle is essentially a requirement for getting to and from the depot reliably. There have been isolated concerns about inconsistent service in the lounge cars, though the overwhelming majority of visitors leave happy and enthusiastic.

    This is a beautiful drive. A lot of aspen trees, would be great for leaf colors. The train ride was great, views are wonderful. The service was fantastic, food and drinks are served for the ride. It is a 2 and a half hour trip. I wool make this one again but in the fall to see the leaves, can't wait.
