Amtrak to the Colorado Mountains

    Tuesday Travel Tip

    Transportation to Colorado Mountains

    Flying into Denver for a big family vacation? You don’t need a rental car to visit the mountains and ski towns.  Take the Amtrak California Zephyr from Denver to Fraser for a reasonable $20-40 (depending on the year and advance purchase). Then hop on the “Black line” bus shuttle to Winter Park which runs a daily schedule spanning the entire ski season starting this year.

    Theresa Jorgensen is a mother to four children including twins. She recognized the necessity for a comprehensive resource of hotels that cater to big families with rooms and suites for 5, 6, 7, or 8 people in a single room while traveling with her own family. In 2008, she established SixSuitcaseTravel to compile a database of such hotels. Over time, the website has grown to include travel advice, itineraries, road trip suggestions, national park guides, and more. Theresa takes pleasure in assisting other big families in creating unforgettable travel experiences.
