Travel Tips & Trends

Summer season for Ski Train opens

Winter Park's summer Ski Train excursions start running on June 30 this year, two weeks earlier than last summer. The train will run every Saturday through August 18.

The one-day round trips leave Denver's Union Station at 9 a.m. and depart from Winter Park at 3 p.m. The 56-mile route takes a little over two hours each way and is popular in summer with hikers and bikers (there is no additional charge for on-train bike transport).

Last summer, a number of trips sold out. It is recommended that tickets be purchased in advance. Tickets may be purchased by phone at 303-296-4754 or online at www.SkiTrain.com.
