- In today’s video we’re taking a look at one of the most GORGEous trains in Colorado! For our anniversary, we booked a table on the Royal Gorge Route Railroad in Canon City.
Since the first tracks were laid in the mid-1800s, Colorado railroads have been a popular means of both transportation and tourism. This train ride offers a one-of-a-kind experience with three-course lunches and dinners, wine tastings, and special event rides that are perfect for dates, family outings, and more.
There are a ton of things to do in Colorado Springs, and as a local I agree that the Royal Gorge Route Railroad does not disappoint. The Royal Gorge Route offers amazing views of the Arkansas River in Canon City, Colorado. Come ride along with us and decide for yourself if it's an adventure you'd like to take!
Here’s our experience riding on the Royal Gorge Route Railroad in Colorado and whether or not it’s worth the price!

man such a silky smooth voice and that music. Just Divine train looks like a lot of fun to!
Lol thanks for watching!
Tickets are 80-100$ per person. I went 3years ago and they were 35 Per person. So sad to see the price gauging.
Yes it's true that prices have increased quite a lot over the years. As with many things sadly.
Damn, thanks for letting me know. Was going to book a ticket but I can't stand for such bad behavior
I remember doing this at least ten years ago when I was in elementary school. I remember my grandma got a reserved table in the dining car and I remember the train ride being really short but it was really fun
How fun! Yes, the train ride is about an hour long but it's a great memory and fun time for a special event.
Oh man! I thought this was a lot long, and not just 2 hours. I bet it's still amazing!
The train track used to be much longer than the 2 hrs when it was used to move stuff thru the mountains to mining towns. Now it is just out and back. The Rocky Mountaineer train from Denver to Glenwood Springs or Moab is a true train ride thru the heart of the mountains. Pricey.. but a fun experience.
Royal Gorge train ride 10/2022🧡🧡🧡
Thanks so much for watching!
This looks fun Thank you!
It's a very fun and memorable experience!
Cool video but going through the gorge I'd be worried about falling rocks
The train is very safe so there isn't a lot to worry about but yes, this is Colorado and you can even see falling rocks on the mountain roads while you're driving.
Looks awesome, how many days in advance do we need to make the reservations? Can you please tell. Thanks!
There isn't a specific time when you need to book. However, tickets do sell out often sell out, especially on the weekends. So we suggest booking at least a week or two in advance. When we booked our tickets we did it a month in advance. Hope this helps! 👍
Would you be able to make video on best Colorado Christmas towns.
Great idea! We can add this to our list of videos to do. :) Thanks!
I remember when there was an old west town located by the gorge I think the Koch Brothers bought it and moved all the old buildings out totally destroying the little town
Buckskin Joe's!! Actually that place is still there (I think). It's indeed not in use anymore but the buildings remain (as of 2022 last I was there)
Where can someone catch this train?
It's located in Canon City just south of Colorado Springs. We share the map in the video!
Thinking to take a trip to glenwood spring this falls , looks like we can do the train ride too! ❤❤❤
Appreciate any suggestions!
@@Potalapalace This Royal Gorge train ride is not located near Glenwood Springs, but there is an Amtrak that runs to the depot in the city instead. You can check out the guide on our website about it: hashtagcoloradolife.com/best-train-rides-in-colorado/
Is this the same place as “Mini Swiss” in Colorado?
No, this train is located in Canon City. The Switzerland of Colorado is located in Ouray. :) Hope this helps!
Thank you 🙏🏻…. Very helpful
Do they sit random people in front of you? I want to go with my partner but would not like a random couple in front of us!
When we did it (just the two of us) we were indeed sat across from another couple we didn't know. So I would imagine more of the same.
2 solutions:
go on a double date with friends so all 4 spots are taken.
buy 4 tickets and sit next to no one! lol
My wife and I went on a cruise a few months ago for the first time. I can chat with strangers if I’m in the mood so the idea of sitting by them didn’t sound appealing. But, I actually had a great time chatting with random people and just connecting with other humans.
