Unforgettable 4-Hour Journey

This historic ribbon of rail runs through a protected corridor at the river’s edge lined with towering red-rock pinnacles, near ancient Indian ruins, over fortified bridges, and through an invigorating 734-foot manmade tunnel carved through solid rock over a century ago.
