Mesa Verde Country (Cortez, Dolores and Mancos)
970-565-8827
Ancestral Puebloans thrived here for thousands of years. The reasons they stayed can still be tasted in our farmers markets and vineyards. The call of the wild answered with bikes, kayaks and fishing lines. The beauty of the land felt by a new generation of artists. The story unfolds at our cultural centers and Native American dances. If you really want to know Mesa Verde Country, one day just isn’t enough. Plan your stay at MesaVerdeCountry.com.

We are fully open for operations and our 2022 summer season is off to a wonderful and robust start. We experienced a brief pause in railroad operations over three days while we worked through communications with the Forest Service on our operating status while observing agreed upon fire precautions. Concurrently, we were able to rebook passengers to adjacent days when train excursions were operating.
We are now operating daily and our train schedule is in fact expanding as we move deeper into the summer season.
Please know that if we experience any interruptions in service due to future fire precaution levels, we will reach out to all of our guests in a most timely manner to offer information and alternatives.
Thank you”
