Enjoy casual dining in an 1887 Pullman railcar that serves up delectable food with a side of history. This rail car once served as the 13th Prime Minister’s, John Diefenbaker, personal campaign car. Some train tours include a meal, while others have food and beverages available for purchase.
As if dinner and drinks aren’t enough, Aspen Crossing also boasts a large campground with 120 sites, complete with group shelters, laundry, showers, flush toilets, the works. Kick back, relax and reconnect with your hun less than an hour out of the city with plenty of room to walk, bike, hike and explore. Perhaps you’re not a camper – no sweat!
