Welcome aboard the Leadville Railroad. Join us for a Colorado adventure you will not forget. Located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, the Leadville Railroad is a scenic train trip that provides 2 and 1/2 hours of sightseeing, relaxation, and a little glimpse back in history.
The Leadville Railroad travels north parallel the Arkansas River Valley. Gaining almost 1,000 ft. in Elevation. As you travel, spectacular views of Freemont Pass and the two tallest peaks in Colorado, Mt. Massive and Mt. Elbert, show themselves. You will travel through pine forests, aspen groves and view high alpine meadows sprinkled with an array of colorful wildflowers in mid-summer. Bring your camera to try to capture a picture of an eagle, deer, marmots, and even elk.
During the train ride, the conductor will share stories about the history of the railroad, ghost stories, and tales of the wild west. Leadville, founded in 1877, was part of the silver mining boom era and consequently embodied the dramas of strike-it-rich western towns. When the train stops at an old Steam Engine water tank, passengers are able to get off the train and explore the area. Don’t forget to tour the Caboose and Engine and meet the Engineer!

Joel Godfrey of Aces & Eights Casino Shuttle is adding the “perfect party” brewery tour for locals and out-of-town guests in the High Country. And his new idea is so much more than just a “Booze Cruise” on wheels! It’s the ultimate answer to the proverbial question, “What’s there to do that’s really fun here at night in Ski Country USA?”
Gone are the days when a full night’s worth of libations risked a roadside chat with law enforcement. “Since we come right to your front door with our luxury vans and safely get you back home too, there’s just no chance of a DUI… or worse,” notes Mr. Godfrey. “We eliminate the risks and concentrate on the guests’ ability to relax and enjoy.”
“Now there’s a safe and responsible way for everyone to get out for a fun night of beers, games, and bar magic that works for locals and our out-of-town vacationers. Best of all, Summit County Brewery Tour guests can participate in all sorts of ways to maximize their enjoyment, whether watching big-screen televised sports, shooting a game of 8-Ball, or sharing a brew with someone special at an intimate table away from the crowd.”
In Colorado, marijuana is as legal and enjoyable as a cold frosty beer or a shot of bourbon! This is your Colorado opportunity to take a brewery tour and visit a distillery, a brewery, and a legal dispensary without any unexpected pricey distractions. We know what you want and are here to get you there in style.
