Welcome aboard the Royal Gorge Route Railroad-simply the best way to experience the Royal Gorge and all it has to offer. The railroad tracks were laid over 120 years ago, however, passenger service was cut off in 1967. In 1999, passenger service returned and now provides visitors from around the world 12-miles of unforgettable scenery, coupled with exceptional service and memories to last a lifetime. Make no mistake, this is not a theme park, but a quality scenic railroad that has been termed by many as the finest way to experience the Royal Gorge. The 12-miles of track follows the most spectacular section of Denver & Rio Grande Railroad directly through the Gorge. Passengers may choose from First-Class or Coach seating, to experiencing our famous Gourmet Lunch and Dinner Trains. Please check our schedule for departure times. For reservations, call: 1.888.724.5748 or 303.569.2403. Please note, the Royal Gorge Route Railroad is not connected to the Royal Gorge Bridge in any manner. We offer a very unique experience and an opportunity to enjoy the Royal Gorge by rails. We pride ourselves as being the highest quality attraction you will experience when you visit the Royal Gorge region.
The train consists of climate controlled coaches, first-class cars and open-air observation cars to watch the passing scenery. Riders often spot wildlife: ducklings on the river's quieter stretches, mule deer on far meadows, eagles, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. The scenery is breathtaking. The journey through the Royal Gorge lasts 2-hours, covering a distance of 24-miles. Make advance reservations on-line or call one of our friendly reservationists to secure your seat aboard the Royal Gorge Route at: 1-888-RAILS-4U or 303-569-2403.
