About this event
Join tour masters Chris and Kathleen Lennon for our 2012 edition of our ever-popular Driver Train-ing Tours. These are driving tours over some of Colorado’s premier roads, culminating in a ride on a spectacular scenic railroad. This year, we have arranged a PCA-only train to take us on the Leadville Colorado & Southern Railroad. Starting in beautiful Leadville, the train ascends 1000 feet above the headwaters of the Arkansas River Valley, through pine forests, aspen groves, and high alpine meadows sprinkled with an array of colorful wildflowers! The tour also features a special wildflower tour, followed by lunch back in Leadville, and a tour of the historic Healy House Museum and James Dexter’s Cabin!
Oh yes, and did we mention we’d be driving over Independence Pass, regarded by many as the most stunning pass in Colorado? So join your Porsche friends for a weekend to remember!
