All Aboard Colorado’s
Most Breathtaking Adventure

The Royal Gorge Route Railroad isn’t just a train ride — it’s your ticket to the most jaw-dropping canyon in North America. Picture this: towering granite walls rising over 1,000 feet above you, the wild Arkansas River roaring beside you, and views so close you can almost touch them. No car, bus, or hike gets you this deep into Colorado’s grandest canyon — only the train does.

You’ll roll through this epic scenery in style — whether you choose our iconic Vista Dome, cozy Deluxe, or classic Coach service. Every class comes with something extra available for purchase: mouthwatering meals, prepared to order for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, cooked fresh right on board. Pair your entrée with a local craft beer, a glass of wine from somewhere fabulous, or your favorite cocktail from our fully stocked bar.

Want the true Royal Gorge thrill? Step onto our open-air cars and feel the wind in your hair as you spot bighorn sheep, soaring eagles, and those impossibly blue Colorado skies. Breathe it all in — this is the real deal, pure Colorado adventure.

And now, the adventure doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. Hop aboard one of our evening departures and get ready for our brand-new Laser Light Show! We’re talking great music, mind-blowing lasers dancing off the granite canyon walls, and an atmosphere that turns the Royal Gorge into the coolest canyon party on rails. Trust us — you’ve never seen the Gorge like this. Grab your seat, your favorite drink, dinner, and let the night light up!

We roll seven days a week, year-round, with up to four departures daily — so there’s always room for a little wild beauty in your day. But trust us: these seats go fast.
So what are you waiting for?

Book your ride today — and experience Colorado’s most unforgettable journey.
