The last train of the day from Keystone is always a one-way departure with no return option.
A return shuttle is offered on select mid-summer days for an additional $5 and can only be combined with the 6:15 train. Purchase of the shuttle can only be made in-person at the Keystone depot or by calling 605-574-2222. Car seats and purchase of a shuttle ticket are mandatory for all infants regardless of age. Shuttle seating is very limited and may only permit a single person of your party to return to Keystone for a vehicle while the others wait in Hill City.
