Luscious, Laura. The road does not appear like the "backroad" that we were lost on last night in the rain and fog...one lane, winding, narrow, dark, frightening. But it's a gorgeous scene, even on the super highway! (giggle) #8411675Jeff Robinson February 24, 2010

Hi Everyone! WOW! Thanks for all the great comments and stories you added here. :) I'm glad I could show you this place.If you look way down the road you will see a tiny car! That's how BIG the Rockies are.
One of the things I love about BP is that we get to travel every day to new places. I am glad I was able to take you here, and that you enjoyed the road trip! (Now where is that waterfall?)...Humm...maybe to the left at that next intersection? Let's turn there, shall we?
Thank you again!

Fantastic scenery and can not wait to get there this summer. #9962989Laura E. Swan February 03, 2012
Hi Emile! Your train ride wont show you this particular scene but you will see parts of the Rockies that none of us can see from the road. This road here, in this image, runs North/South along the eastern shoreline of the Rockies. In fact this IS THE VERY FIRST SET which makes them VERY special!!! Anyway-Be sure and ask your steward which hours NOT to miss being in the observation car! They'll be happy to tell you! It will be so fantastic! :))) I'll be looking forward to your photos!Thanks for the visit!
