Toast of the Canyon

Perfect date-night activity! Enjoy libations and appetizers as you travel on a 45-minute trip south of Carson City’s Eastgate Depot into the Carson River Canyon. Glimpse a part of the route not seen every day. The track winds past scenic views of the river and the canyon walls. Bring your cameras, as there will be opportunities to photograph the “Iron Horse” as it steams by the passenger cars to reattach to the train to pull it back up out of the canyon. Listen as the engineer blows the whistle and the echoes bounce off the canyon walls.
