It's fun to ride on the wooden planks - and when it's muddy, it helps you avoid the worst.

You can see William Frederick Hayden Park on the right, and Denver on the left from Carl's Point. A perfect spot to take a mid ride photo or simply take a break and enjoy the view.

Great place to check out the crazy history of railroads from Colorado's mining past. Lots of narrow-gauge trains, you can do rides, and the museum building is a replica of an 1880s-style railroad depot.
