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.
