Amtrak

In Colorado, high-mountain passes, lush groves of aspen and expanses of prairie dominate the landscape. But historic trains aren't the only way to see it. Amtrak also supplies views of Colorado's stunning landscapes. The California Zephyr line travels roughly two-thirds of the way across the country, including the heart of the Colorado Rockies. From the depths of the Gore, Byers and Glenwood Canyons to the heights of the Rockies themselves, Amtrak cuts across much of Colorado. It isn't just a vessel for getting from point A to point B; it's an extended scenic trip through Colorado's natural beauty.
