OldGreyEagle 5 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 And I dont mean practice, practice, practice ... I have been invited to attend the Training Center, just one question, once I get to Colorado Springs, how do you get there? Link to post Share on other sites
FScouter 24 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Greyhound goes from Colorado Springs to Cimmaron. Amtrak has a bus that goes from Colorado Springs to Raton. From there you can hop on the Philmont bus. Your registration packet should have a list of about 37 different carriers that will get you there from anywhere. What training are you planning to take? I might be going too. Link to post Share on other sites

Eamonn 61 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 We loaded up the car and drove from PA. To Philmont. Taking turns driving. That way we had the car as and when it was needed. We also took a week after to play tourist. The trip out was about 30 hours driving. You could of course fly in and rent a car. Eamonn Link to post Share on other sites
cheffy 10 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 I'm looking at the same thing. Since we want to do the tourist thing also, the options are. A. Amtrak to Albuquerque and rent a car. 3.5hr ride to Cimarron. Amtrak without a sleeper car is around $200 B. Southwest airlines to Albuquerque and rent car. Cannot get a price from Southwest yet. c. Drive all the way. d. Amtrak to Raton and bus in then figure out rent a car situation. Link to post Share on other sites

Eamonn 61 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Last time I was at Philmont there was someone who had put their car on the train. I know that this is common in Europe but I'm light on the details of how it works on this side of the pond. Eamonn Link to post Share on other sites
