We got off to a bumpy start here as there was a mechanical issue the day prior that canceled our initial reservation. Thankfully, they were able to move some stuff around and make it work for us on our second day in town so we could enjoy the snow ride, which was high on our list as a bunch of Southern California girls who never see the snow. We arrived all bundled up but the blankets in the sleigh were much appreciated as well. After our sleigh ride, they offered to give us a tour of the mine as well, which was an unexpected but nice gesture.

Camp Hale was a national historic U.S. Army training facility, which was established in 1942 and…read moredecommissioned in November 1945. It is located in central Colorado between Red Cliff and Leadville in the Eagle River Valley at an elevation of 9,238 feet. it was named for General Irving Hale. Onslow S. Rolfe, was selected to command Camp Hale. Soldiers were trained in mountain climbing, and skiing, cold-weather. About 15,000 soldiers were trained here. This is a self-guided driving tour with 10 stops that take you in a loop around Camp Hale. Each stop has an interpretive sign with history of that area. There is a larger interpretive site just off Highway 24 marked by stone pillars at the main entrance to Camp Hale about 17 miles south of the intersection of I-70 and Hwy 24. Must stop to visit if you are near by. Note: I could not check in on Yelp but to poor cell service.

It was more of a historical tour of Breckenridge, which might have been okay; however, the guide kept getting details confused, correcting herself, and then getting confused again.

All in all, we felt it was false advertising regarding the content of the tour and the presentation was not that entertaining.

We also wanted to ride Parlor class this time as we've ridden coach before. Parlor had tables and snacks and drink service! Santa was so much fun too. We declined having any pictures taken, I heard the lady say it was $25 for one print. Which is fine but I also didn't think I looked cute enough as I was bundled to the cheeks. It was below freezing! After the ride we visited Mrs Clause and got the kid's jingle bells and hot chocolate.

I loved seeing all of the good doggos hanging out with their people. For the most part, they were all well behaved. The best seating does fill up quickly so wish we had gotten there a bit earlier. They do sell snacks aboard but they're just so so. The pretzel I got was half heartedly warmed up. I liked the short break in the middle where you can get off the train and take pictures or stretch your legs at the water tower. Bathrooms on board are meh, so try to use the restroom beforehand at the station. Once you get off the train everyone rushes to the bathroom so you want to try to get off faster to avoid a long line. The whole experience felt a little long to my toddler, but I did see some kids napping in their seats. Definitely worth coming out during peak fall season!
