Group Tours & Packages
An unforgettable ride, made for groups
Some group outings are forgettable. This one isn’t. Aboard the Royal Gorge Route Railroad, your group winds through one of the most dramatic canyons in North America, a thousand feet of granite rising on both sides, the Arkansas River rushing below, no one looking at their phones. The kind of shared experience that earns a permanent spot in the story of your group.
We cater to groups of 20+ & offer exclusive group rates for established tour organizations
Order your favorites from our popular grill menu or elevate your experience with our first class offerings where all of our delicious entrees are prepared fresh onboard the train. Custom dining packages also available!
