TRANSPORTATION

Travel By Rail

Experienced travelers say AMTRAK’s California Zephyr route is the most beautiful train trip in all of North America, and as you climb to the sky through the heart of the Rocky Mountains you’ll find it hard to disagree. Certainly, it’s the most comfortable way to travel between Chicago and the mountain towns of the west. Whether you travel for skiing in winter or hiking and sightseeing in summer, as you twist past the narrow canyons and towering peaks of the Rockies, or follow the Colorado River through a breathtakingly beautiful mountain wilderness, you’ll consider the train ride less a means of transportation than a destination itself. The Zephyr makes daily stops in Glenwood Springs, just 40 miles from Snowmass Village. Call 800-USA-RAIL, or visit www.amtrak.com.
