I really do love train rides, and this would be the perfect area😍
My dad and I did the cab ride!! Our engineer, Jeremy Jackson was amazing!! So worth the money and 2 hour drive from Denver!!
You can actually rail bike along the Rio Grande with @revrailco in South Fork. Small charming town. Definitely recommend. Make sure to stop by @tinytimberscoffeebistro_resort best breakfast burritos!
