How to Plan Unforgettable Weekend Getaways from Denver

Take the Winter Park Express

Traveling from Denver to Winter Park is easy when you board the Winter Park Express! The train departs Denver Union Station every Saturday and Sunday from January 5th to March 25th, 2018. Passengers take a scenic ride through some of Colorado’s most beautiful landscapes before arriving at the base of Winter Park Resort. Check out the schedule below and be sure to buy your tickets early.

  • Depart Union Station at 7 a.m.
  • Arrive in Winter Park at 9 a.m.
  • Depart Winter Park at 4:30 p.m.
  • Arrive at Union Station at 6:40 p.m.

Shop, Dine, and Explore

After you get off the train, spend a few hours wandering through downtown Winter Park. The area known as Cooper Creek Square offers everything from restaurants and spas to locally-owned boutiques. There’s also a playground for kids. It’s a great place to unwind and enjoy some quality family time.

Local tip: If you’re visiting Winter Park, CO, during the week, head to the Village Gazebo at 4 p.m. for live music around the fire pit. Talented local artists can be found here every Wednesday night!

Get Outside

No last-minute getaway to Winter Park is complete without enjoying the great outdoors! Take advantage of Winter Park Resort’s world-class skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing in the wintertime. Or, plan a spring/summer vacation for endless hiking, biking, fishing, and horseback riding. With so much to do and see throughout the year, it’s no wonder Winter Park is nicknamed “Colorado’s Playground”.
