We visited Colorado this weekend and were met with single digits and BELOW zero temperatures! Despite the snow and cold temps, we made our way to Canon City from Colorado Springs and took the 1/2 day jeep and Royal Gorge train tour. Our jeep driver, Tom, was fantastic. He was a confident and safe driver, even in the pouring snow, and was so kind and friendly. He added two wool blankets in the back for our comfort, which was a big help in staying warm. Tom is very knowledgable in area history, points of interest, and his background in forestry was apparent as he pointed out vegetation, trees, and as he searched for wildlife to point out. The kids (ages 12 and 14) were interested throughout the ride, and added to the conversation as he hit upon areas they are currently studying. It was a fun, gorgeous, ride through the mountains and we felt like we were the only people for miles. Thanks again to Tom! I highly recommend the combo tour with the train ride. After the Jeep tour, we drove a couple miles down the road and boarded the train. I highly suggest you spend a little more for the dome car - the views were stunning and it was incredible to see the mountains and river along the gorge. After riding in the Jeep across the suspension bridge earlier in the day, it was so neat to have the added experience of looking up at the bridge from the train as we rode under it. As a bonus, the food on the train is really good -- it was a great day and an unforgettable experience!
