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.
So we're scrolling through our feed this morning, and I say, "hey look, Val & Jarrett have a new video, and they're eating". My wife responds, "they're always eating". Great video guys!
The Royal Gorge Route Railroad runs on the former Denver & Rio Grande Western rail line that was started back way in 1879. It now runs these old fleet of diesel locomotives.
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.
Good morning guy's, as usual great content! My wife and I enjoy watching your adventures, and Rig! Keep up the good work!!! Lenny and Kim Twinsburg Ohio!
What’s up Lenny & Kim! O-H!! So glad you find our content enjoyable! Thank you so much for the nice comment! ☺️ Go Bucks! Man, we can’t wait for some football to start! We’re heading back out East real soon! Gotta get to a game! That might be a good video! When we whoop Michigan!
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.
It does seem nice and like u said a one time thing but wow almost 600 so much more u could have done and alot more fun like the zip line white water the silverton train pikes peak cog railway etc etc .. I checked today and the cheapest one was like 125 dollars so no thanks lol ..
We’re 90% sure we remember not having cell service or Wi-Fi on the train & the Canon City area . We were busy videoing, but I don’t think there was much service out there. Hope you have a great time! Cheers! 🍻
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. The views were spectacular! You can check out our video on it if you want ☺️

Yeah it was pretty pricey! Nice, but pricey
Spent 330$ for a family of three. 3 years ago I spent 100$ for a family of three. The price gauging is terrible
It has me second guessing my trip in October. But, I’m in Florida….its no different than Disney or any of the other tourist based crooks
Very nice and comprehensive review. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Booking tickets now.
Oh that’s awesome! Hope you enjoy it!
I love the shot of everyone on their phone.. typically I wouldn’t, but they are capturing such epic views and making great memories!
Haha yeah, common occurrence these days!

Great video guys!
😂😂well I suppose we do like to eat! Lol Hey I was actually impressed by the train’s lunch options!
Not bad at all!
@@OurNextAdventurejvh The food did look really good.
Thank you so much for this video.
Great video and good advice. I've been thinking about taking a scenic train ride.
Views that make you feel small are cool. I don`t know if I`d like that cable car a whole lot though.

I have never done that train ride....might have to do it the next time I am there. Great video!! Thanks!
It’s a really neat area!
Hi fam great rafting, beautiful water. Blessings 😅😅

Oh that stinks. Hope your ride this May is sunny and 75! ☀️
Great info! Thanks for sharing!
Going next month , super excited thank you for sharing
Doing this this weekend. Excited! Thanks for sharing.
Oh that’s great! Hope you enjoy it!! ☺️
A $10 cinnamon roll?? Holy 💩 that’s insane
Thank you for sharing.
Is the food included in the price of the ticket, or is that seperate?
The Royal Gouge. See Black Canyon of the Gunnison instead. 4 times as deep.

Thank you for a great video. Very informative. Prices and all 🙏
So glad it was helpful! ☺️

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.

I think we will pass on the Buck Wheat Beer

Hey i'm going here next week just wondering if the train has wifi? or cell service? cheers an irish traveller :)
We’re 90% sure we remember not having cell service or Wi-Fi on the train & the Canon City area . We were busy videoing, but I don’t think there was much service out there. Hope you have a great time! Cheers! 🍻
Me & my lady are going next week...nice video
Awesome, Hope you guys enjoy it and have great weather!
i thought this was vlog about the gorge; its mostly about eating...
It’s about the whole train ride experience, and on the train ride, you can look around at the gorge and …eat 😎 that’s pretty much all there is to do.
How long the trip will be ?
It was about 2 hours
If you book the trip for just 2 do you have to share a table?
Good question, I don’t think so, but definitely reach out to them and ask.
We don’t remember.
Hope you enjoy it ☺️
Looks great, debating this vs Pikes Peak Cograil.
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.
The views were spectacular! You can check out our video on it if you want ☺️
@@OurNextAdventurejvh Thanks! We'll look at that 2nd video. Take care
@@nomdeplorable3362 beware inclement weather.. was only able to go 12k of the 14k feet
Is this deluxe class or the first class?
I think theirs was the Vista dome.
@@tashikanaulings
Yes, it’s called the Vista Dome.
So sorry, didn’t see the first comment.
@@OurNextAdventurejvh Awesome! Thanks. I’m going this weekend!
There’s also vista dome first class. That’s more than regular vista dome.
Hi fam nice train. Beautiful day. Blessings 😅😅
I believe that's the prison El Chapo is at.
is dog/pet allowed?
Oh sorry we would have no idea. You’ll have to contact the railway.
Hello 🌹🌹
The beer was free ?
Lol well it should’ve been! 😜
I'd suspect those 4 little beers probably ran about $20.
@@t-reyh5937
I think you suspected correctly!
I’m sure they were around that price, but we think the menu is available online if it helps.
Looks peoply...idk
Very peoply!
