Featuring 6 Rail Excursions

Experience a Colorado Rocky Mountain High as we travel on-board historic railroads through rugged mountains on this wonderful vacation.

Quite possibly the most "classic" train tour is this in-depth exploration of the Colorado Rockies aboard both standard and narrow gauge railways to summits of over 14,000 feet. Teddy Roosevelt described a train journey through Colorado as "the trip that bankrupts the English language."

Find out for yourself! Beginning and ending in Denver, this extraordinary itinerary makes a great circle of the Rockies and includes six remarkable train rides that fully justify President Roosevelt's enthusiasm.

Each October, the skies of New Mexico are painted with hundreds of balloons as they lift off from Fiesta Park. Dazzling during the day, the spectacle of hundreds of hot air balloons is even better when they light up at dawn and dusk. See these amazing displays, plus explore early Pueblo life, and the artists of Santa Fe. Founded in 1972, the Fiesta began with 13 balloons and has grown to more than 600 balloons from all over the world. We view the “mass ascension” of these specially shaped balloons as they lift off at sunrise.

We'll also get to see the Balloon Glow event where just before dusk, the burners of nearly 500 balloons are ignited and the evening sky fills with a kaleidoscope of brilliant, luminous color. The evening is topped off with a vivid fireworks display. Join us for this bucket list trip!
