Description
New Year’s Eve in
The Royal Gorge
Enjoy the spectacular sweeping views of Colorado’s Royal Gorge in style on the Royal Gorge Route’s 2023 New Year’s Eve Dinner.
Our First Class Dinner menu, served on our 7 p.m. New Year’s Eve Dinner Train, features a very special multi-course selection, all made from scratch for you.
Our 3:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. train also offer a slightly more casual New Year’s Eve Dinner Train experience featuring your favorites from our 403 Grill and our fully stocked bar with microbrews, wine and cocktails at the ready. Ride Coach, Deluxe or Vista Dome and enjoy the ambiance aboard any of our beautifully restored deluxe railcars.
Whenever you’re ready, stroll out onto the open air car with your libation and lose yourself in the beauty of the gorge at night. If you’re aboard our First Class Dinner Train on the 7 p.m. departure, we’ll help you celebrate the occasion with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine once onboard (21 years and up).
Seating is limited due to popularity. Thus, in keeping with railroad tradition, parties of two might be combined to sit together at a table of four. When seated with another couple, you and your guest will be seated on the same side of the table. Parties of four will always be seated at the same table.
