Glenwood Springs Train station
May 12, 2023
We had time to grab breakfast before getting on the train, we found a spot called the Daily Bread. On our way to the place, we spotted a “Mama’s Pierogi” food truck and at the restaurant they had blintzes on the menu and pierogies on the lunch menu. Clearly, there was an eastern Europeans population in Glenwood Springs.
As we walked around, I couldn’t help but notice how picturesque Glenwood springs was. It sits in a canyon along the Colorado river surrounded by the Rocky Mountains. There are hot springs in the middle of town.  It has a small town vibe, an old town, something out of a western movie.  Gunslinger Doc Holiday is buried in the cemetery.
I could have spent an extra day or two exploring the area but it was back on the Train where out crew started the morning with a toast. We then headed out through the Rockies to Denver. The scenery was just as amazing as the day before and we saw a lot of wildlife.  We went through areas that weren’t accessible by car.  The service on the train was outstanding and the crew made us all feel that this was an event – and it really was.
When we pulled into Denver, we were taken to our hotel, the Rally hotel, which is across from Coors stadium.  I was sad that the train portion was over.  All in all, I couldn’t have enjoyed this part of the trip any better! I was also glad that I went from Vegas to Denver with the train trip being at the end of the trip as opposed to going the opposite way!
