What a thrill to ride the train up to Hurricane Gulch and back! We rode smoothly and almost silently through the snow, viewing frozen rivers, flocked trees, ghost frost, secluded cabins. The vast snow-capped mountains were more than awesome. As a flag train, we stopped to pick up passengers waiting in deep snow.....even stopped while a moose got off the... More

I've heard that it's a beautiful trip in the summer, but I find it hard to believe it could outdo the winter scenery. The train itself is very comfortable--not like airline seats--lots of... More
