Witness Colorado sunsets over the Front Range from a unique, low-slung vantage as you pedal a shared railbike along a gentle route in Erie. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy lawn games, take photographs, and purchase snacks and (non)alcoholic drinks before the cooler evening ride departs prior to sunset, giving you a front-row seat to the sky’s transformation.
