Ski Train

In the winter, the Ski Train takes visitors to the slopes of Winter Park Ski Area, allowing skiers to skirt traffic and add a scenic tour to a popular Colorado activity. But don’t let its name fool you; it also runs in warmer weather. During spring and summer, the train transports visitors from Denver to Winter Park, but instead of a skiing paradise, the destination is now a hiking and mountain biking enthusiast’s dream come true. With miles of single track and acres of evergreens, the outdoor life beckons riders. Along the route you’ll pass through 27 tunnels in 25 miles — the most tunnels in the shortest distance in all of the Western Hemisphere. The construction of the tunnels alone took more than one thousand workers to complete, a feat that ended up costing more than $400 per foot of tunnel.
