La Veta, Colo. (April 18, 2008) – Why treat mom to the same-old traditional Mother’s Day gifts when you can surprise her with a moving feast, unbelievable mountain scenery and a day she won’t forget?

All aboard the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad.

This year, forget the breakfast in bed and “Throw Momma on the Train” to get a sneak peek of the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad’s new dome cars, offering panoramic views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, almost two weeks before the regular season begins. 

The trip, which includes a brunch buffet featuring Rio Grande Dark Roast, fresh fruit, crepes, muffins, hash browns and champagne, makes its way from the quaint southern Colorado town of La Veta, a short 16 miles west of Walsenburg (just over 2 hours from Denver, straight down I-25), to the top of La Veta Pass and offers breathtaking views of the San Luis Valley.

Tickets are only $59 per person. For more information or to purchase tickets today call 1-877-726-7245. Space is limited and filling up fast!
