We spent 3 days up here volunteering with some of my high school age girl scouts…read more Our experience far exceeded anything that we could have ever imagined. M:W just experienced some flooding so they were in a bit of stress and chaos when we were there. some of the fencing and structures came down and got tore up. As a volunteer camping, we needed to be there between 9 and noon. We arrived around 1030. The road to get there is a little rough. We did it in my honda pilot AWD and my coleader had her highlander. Some pot holes, ruts and jutting rocks so just be prepared. If it has been rainy the road will be even rougher to get up and down as will be slick. Cows around there dont have fences so be sure to take it easy when driving so you dont accidentally hit any animals. We were greeted upon arrival, and assigned a long term volunteer who they call staff to give us a tour. Iyla did a great job with giving us information and showing us around. Kent was doing an education talk right after that and we were all so glad that we attended. It was so informative and interesting! We did get to go meet a couple of the wolves after which was beyond anything we had imagined. After the talk, we went down to our camp area to set up. And when we were done we came back up the road and they set us up with some tasks. We worked until around 830 pm and headed back to our site. The next 2 days we did more volunteering. Also got to watch the wolves feed. And do a little more interaction with them. Everyones volunteer experience may be different but ours was absolutely amazing! It was something we had to set up in advance with them as they have limited space. You are supposed to bring your own tent, sleeping bags, etc when staying on site. We all had an amazing time and will be back next year to volunteer again! The organization really takes care of their animals and has a lot of heart and soul.

Roger was great with making sure we had a fun and safe trip up and back, and even took extra care with our younger bunch. All the adults got a chance to drive and it was such a thrill!

It's only 40 minutes from Alamosa, and tent camping is affordable at $30/night. There are a lot of little campsites scattered among the piñon pines. Most have a fire ring built up with stones and a picnic table. There's also an insulated boxcar that has been converted into restrooms with flushing toilets and sinks with running water. You get spectacular views of the San Luis Valley, the Great Sand Dunes, and the Milky Way. GSD is a dark sky park, so this is a great destination if you love stargazing. I have a feeling we'll be back, because all the little campsites make it a perfect place for camping with friends.

Unbelievable experience and worth every penny!…read more We were so excited to to experience this after years of seeing scenic train rides online. It was on our must do list for our first time in colorado. We purchased tickets online about a month before our trip. The one con is you may be seated with people outside your party depending on the table. I wish they would put this disclaimer online so we could've purchased an extra seat to have that privacy and comfortability. The views were immaculate especially with the fresh powder. All the staff on board were great and attentive. The food was pretty good too. I opted for the chicken sandwich; which was flavorful and juicy. We really enjoyed the bar cart LOL and the open air cart was perfect for the views and pictures. Cons: we found a hair in our welcome cookie and with the price of admission i wish we had our own table and space. Overall, i would recommend taking the family and loved ones on this experience.

I sat in one of the Vista Dome cars, where the ceiling is glass so you can see everything above you, and it was 100% worth it. I ordered the wine flight, and every wine on it was delicious. I also got the burger with a side salad, and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect much since it's "train food," but the burger was really good--juicy, not dry at all, with a perfectly balanced bun that didn't overpower the meat. I genuinely enjoyed it. The staff was super friendly--very kind, attentive, and welcoming, which really added to the experience. There are several different cars you can choose from: a dining car with a bar, the Vista Dome, or regular coach seating. I went with the Vista Dome and would absolutely choose it again. I also tried the cheesecake. It was okay, but not something I'd order again. That said, everything else more than made up for it. One of the highlights was that there are two open-air cars where you can step outside and take in the views. The ride through the mountains was beautiful, the river was stunning, and stopping near the bridge for about 20 minutes was really cool and gave you time to soak it all in. Overall, this was an amazing experience, and I will absolutely do this again. Highly recommend if you're in the area.
