Remarks & Notes

The Rio Grande Ski Train approaches the east switch at Crescent, Colorado, on March 27, 2009. We didn’t know it at the time, but this was the very last weekend of Denver’s Ski Train. Running through the fresh snow this early Friday morning, the train only has two more round trips to Winter Park before it becomes part of Colorado’s railroad history.

The Winter Park Ski Train has taken generations of Denverites to the slopes. Started by the Rio Grande and now operated by Amtrak, it's the best way to get there.
