The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is a vintage steam locomotive driven excursion train leaving either from Antonito, Colorado or Chama, New Mexico. You will journey back in time through spectacular mountains, canyons and valleys.
Last year I went to northern New Mexico and was hoping for Fall color and I certainly found it! We saw the most spectacular views of golden aspens from the Cumbres & Toltec parlour car. We saw those golden beauties up close, we saw them down in deep valleys and we saw mountains covered with a golden mantle of aspen groves.
Be sure and check the weather and inquire about Fall color before you make your reservation. There is nothing like riding the rails and watching the Fall scenery slip by you. Train Trip Photo Gallery
