Homeschool Days at the LEADVILLE TRAIN

Description: Leadville Colorado & Southern Railroad’s train adventure is a 2 and ½ hour roundtrip through the untamed wilderness of the San Isabel National Forest along the old Denver, South Park & Pacific and Colorado & Southern lines to the Continental Divide. This journey is full of breath-taking panoramas across the Arkansas River Valley. Mining and railroading were a large part of the local history.

The Leadville Colorado & Southern Railroad travels north along the Arkansas River Valley, it raises up 1,000 feet off the valley floor with spectacular views of Freemont Pass and the two tallest peaks in Colorado, Mt. Massive and Mt. Elbert. Also, take time to hear about the fascinating history of the railroads, ghost stories and tales of the wild from the conductor on board the trip.

Other highlights include a chance to meet the engineer, take a tour of the caboose and engine. You and your family can bring or purchase food and beverages on the train. Be sure to bring cameras and jackets.

For more information, check out their FAQs page.

You can even make a weekend trip out of this event! There are so many fun things to do in the Leadville and surrounding areas.

Family Float - Royal Gorge.jpg

ROYAL GORGE HOMESCHOOL Rafting TRIPS with True North

Description: This year we are offering two trip options through Raft Masters out of their Arkansas River location in Cañon City:

Family Float Trip

If you are looking for family time on the river, but have young children, this trip is for you. On the Family Float, you will experience the tranquility of floating down the river and getting in some splashy fun while spending time with your friends and family. The float will have a swim/play break in the river with mild water temperatures. Small children love the adventure of rafting down the most rafted river in the United States! Once you’re in the boat and heading down the Arkansas River, you will enjoy scenic views while you float on gentle whitewater that is perfect for families with young children. After about 5 miles on the river, you will load up on the bus and head back to Raft Masters. There are typically 6-8 people per boat. Raft Masters is only company on the Arkansas River that runs this trip and it’s the safest float trip in Colorado!

Bighorn Sheep Canyon Trip

A perfect half day of fun for first time rafters and for families with younger children* (ages 5 and up). You get the best of both worlds while experiencing the excitement of whitewater rafting. Once you’re in the boat and heading down the Arkansas River, you will enjoy watching for bighorn sheep as you prepare to navigate the splashy rapids like Five Points, Spike Buck, and Cowgirl Up. This family friendly trip will provide adventures for the entire family. After traveling about 9 miles down the river, you’ll load up on the bus and head back to Raft Masters.
