The Royal Gorge Route Railroad is your ticket to the most jaw-dropping canyon in North America. 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. Nothing else gets you this deep into Colorado’s grandest canyon — only the train does. 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.

You’ll roll through this epic scenery in style aboard our iconic Vista Dome, cozy Deluxe, or classic Coach service where we’ll invite you to indulge in delicious dining, prepared to order for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, cooked fresh right on board. Pair it up with a local craft beer, a glass of wine from somewhere fabulous, or your favorite cocktail or mocktail from our fully stocked bar.

Behind every departure is a dedicated team of chefs, engineers, mechanics, and track crews working in quiet coordination. Experiences created with this level of intention, safety, preservation, and craftsmanship are no small feat. It’s the kind of dedication you can feel in every mile.
