There’s no cell service or Wi-Fi through much of the terrain so you’ll be unplugged from the modern world. Soak in the views, listen as the steam whistle echoes through the canyon, hear the vintage locomotive work to pull the train up the grades. If you long to unwind and enjoy Colorado nature at its finest, this is the trip for you.

Animas City Theatre Presents The River Arkansas & Joshua Polaris    The River Arkansas  In the winter of 2014, Mike Clark penned a collection of songs about heartbreak, love, and escaping the clutches of day-to-day society. The following spring, Clark decided to make that collection into a record. By good fortune Macon Terry, a bass player and former member of the band Paper Bird, happened to be in the neighborhood the day the studio was booked for recording. Though Terry arrived not knowing any of the songs, what they captured was the beginning of something great. Later they would add Robin Chestnut on drums, Rachel Sliker on violin, and Benjamin Gallagher on piano. With the release their third studio album "Any Kind of Weather" the band has hit their stride, traveling the mid-west, south, and western United States as well as playing festivals all across Colorado, delivering their distinctive mixture of Country, Blues, Folk and Americana.    https://www.theriverarkansas.com  https://www.facebook.com/theriverarkansas  https://youtu.be/ywTBpm4eazs  https://youtu.be/Jk6kZpvvjL4  https://youtu.be/mOYAxUuslNM  Joshua Polaris is a Colorado based singer and songwriter who spent the last ten years touring with his group Elder Grown.
