A special sightseeing train with open cars runs out from Leadville, through rugged mountain scenery, and returns 2.5 hours later. Packages combine the trip with zip line or rafting adventures. The railway line is a lingering remnant of what started in 1884 as the Denver South Park & Pacific Railroad "highline".
