This year, families looking to forgo the traditional Mother’s Day gifts can treat mom to a moving feast, combined with unbelievable mountain scenery, on-board the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad.
The special “Throw Momma on the Train” excursion offers a new way to roll on Mother’s Day and get a sneak peek of the train’s five newly remodeled 1950s-era dome cars, offering panoramic views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, almost two weeks before the regular season begins.
Along with breathtaking views of the San Luis Valley, the outing includes a brunch buffet featuring Rio Grande Dark Roast coffee, fresh fruit, crepes, muffins, hash browns and champagne.
On-board, the comfort and vintage styling of the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad sets a nostalgic tone as the train makes its way from the quaint southern Colorado town of La Veta, just 16 miles west of Walsenburg (just over 2 hours from Denver, straight down I-25), to the top of La Veta Pass, operating on the same standard gauge rails that were built more than 100 years ago to carry freight and passengers.
Designated the Scenic Line of the World, the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad offers families comfortable seating and panoramic views of area wildlife, sweeping mountain meadows, cliffs and canyons only accessible by the train.
We are thrilled to offer two tickets aboard the Rio Grande as a gift to you or your mother! To enter, simply email us at with “Throw mama on the train” in the subject line. Contest deadline is May 4th.
