All aboard the historic Royal Gorge Railroad and its festive Santa Express Train!
Royal Gorge Route Railroad
Located in Canon City, the Santa Express Train is about as magical as it gets as the train - which makes 4 trips a day! - runs to the North Pole via the scenic Royal Gorge Route.

While aboard, you will not only be treated to a special meet and greet with Jolly Old St. Nicholas himself but to beautiful decor and light displays, cookies and cocoa, and a gift from Santa.
