GOLDLEAF & SILVERLEAF

Two Ways to See the Rockies

GoldLeaf Service puts you beneath a glass dome on the upper level, with breakfast and lunch served in a dedicated dining room downstairs. Step onto the large outdoor viewing platform for fresh mountain air and views beyond the glass.

SilverLeaf Service brings breakfast and lunch to your seat in a single-level coach with oversized panoramic windows. A smaller outdoor viewing area gives you another perspective on the passing scenery.

Both include onboard hosts, regionally inspired meals, beverages, and snacks. Your advisor helps you choose the experience that suits you.
