Re: Winterpark, Colorado
The train ride had about 13 tunnels with the last one called the ‘Moffett tunnel’ that is suppose to be the longest in the Western America. It took the train almost 15 minutes to go through it.
There is no platform in Winter Park and the train basically stops near a couple of resort style hotels, which are actually outside of the main city. There was public transportation (FREE) that takes you to the city and back and we rode it to get to our buffet lunch organized by the company. The city itself is like any other small western tourist city with strip malls, souvenir shops, restaurants and pubs.

When we got back the resorts there were a couple of things you could do that mainly revolved around teen age children. Stuff like mini golf, outdoor wall climb, leaps & bounds bungee jumping and a chair lift. Most adults were either in the pubs or the outdoorsy types were hiking up the hills or running up the hills and some took the chair lift up and would ride their mountain bikes back.
