Glenwood Springs Getaway

Independent rail getaway to Glenwood Springs, Colorado's Rocky Mountains

Illustration of Glenwood Springs Getaway

Amtrak Vacations operates the Glenwood Springs Getaway as an Independent rail vacation, a three-day, two-night trip that starts and ends in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, in the Rocky Mountains. Travelers ride Amtrak in from any of the operator's 500+ stations, then spend their time in Glenwood Springs largely as they choose. The package's own included activities are a gondola ride on the Iron Mountain Tramway and a guided tour of the Glenwood Caverns cave system, while the description notes the surrounding area also offers hiking, biking, golfing, kayaking, horseback riding, and fly-fishing for travelers to arrange on their own. Because rail fare is priced apart from the 2 nights of hotel accommodations, this suits travelers who already know how they want to get to Colorado and want a simple, short mountain stay built around one or two included activities.
