    I just did this Memorial Day weekend 2024. Very pleasant, especially on the outside viewing car, but would not do again. $540 for 3 people to ride in the Vista Dome w/ lunch. (Tips are included, so that's the final price.)
    Just seemed like a lot of money. The drive down from Divide to Canon City was far more beautiful than anything we saw on the train ride.

    I was so looking forward to this ride in May of 2021. But the engine on the train we were going to take had problems. Stood outside for around an hour and a half on a cold drizzly day. Ended up just going and getting our money back. Was so disappointed. Going back to try it again this May. Hope it's problem free this time.

    First off, it's Canon City, not Canyon City. Its a nice ride, but if you ride it don't pay for food, just the ride part.

    • @Chicagocubbiegirl
      @Chicagocubbiegirl 8 місяців тому +1

      Agree. The outdoor viewing car was where we spent the whole trip after the lunch service and it was by far the most enjoyable part. Food on the train was good, but nothing special. Cheeseburger, chips and a beer for $30.
      If I were to do this again, I'd buy the cheapest seats, eat beforehand and plan to spend most of the trip in the open air car.

      Oooo tough choice. I’d probably do the cog rail. Pikes Peak is gorgeous!
      We did this train and then drove Pikes Peak ourselves for little cost.
      We preferred being in our own car.
