What a truly unique adventure. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our rail cart trip. Everyone who helped at all stages of the trip were so helpful and friendly. The scenery is spectacular and we love to hear the early stories of the area. We thoroughly enjoyed the home baking and found that there was ample food for us at the lunch time – appreciated the touch with the flowers. We became competent rail cart drivers in a very short time. We love that the experience is like no other we’ve ever done. Something that will stay with us for a long time. Thanks so much for sharing this part of the country with us.
