Traveling from Southern California? Take the Party Train!

The Party Train is the regularly scheduled Amtrak Southwest Chief departing Los Angeles Union Station at 4:55 PM on Wednesday 6/16/27, arriving in Santa Fe Central Area at 1:40 PM on Thursday 6/17/27.

Enjoy a surprisingly great dinner on board (don't forget to book it in advance!) and fall asleep to the clickety-clack of your steady railroll east. Wake up to a hot breakfast in the dining car as you cruise through the American Southwest. There's no more civilized way to travel.

(In our opinion, the westbound return trip is inferior due to its timing, so you might consider flying back. You do you!)

If you want a private room with a bed, book it ASAP.

(The train will drop you off at Lamy Station and Amtrak will provide a bus to Santa Fe. From there, the Austin-Ness Party Shuttle will carry you to Abiquiu.)

At 2PM on Thursday 6/17/27, the Austin-Ness Party Shuttle will gather any and all guests in Santa Fe (particularly those who have just arrived on the Party Train) and carry them to Abiquiu.

Flying in? You'll probably have the most luck landing at Albuquerque's Sunport. They have a well-stocked rental car center with competitive rates. We advise reserving a car in advance.

Remember: don't call it an airport!

Santa Fe has the easiest most charming little airport you've ever seen. Arriving here will save you half the drive!

Arriving by RV? Why not? Ghost Ranch has an RV park with full hookups.

Traveling by car? We've done that trip - we love it! See the sights of the Southwest along the way, including the Grand Canyon, Sedona, The Petrified Forest, White Sands National Park, and maybe even a night at La Posada Hotel...
