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. The railroad is a living history museum which travels a narrow guage (3 feet wide) railroad line bulit in the late 1800's.
We traveled back in time and through several eco-systems. We went past prairies, headed up into the mountains, through tunnels, across trestles and stopped at Osier for lunch. It was rather high at that point. After lunch and a few photo ops with the engines, we continued on to Antonito. I loved this part as we got to see the deep Toltec Gorge. The last part of the trip as we headed in to Antonito wasn't quite as exciting - just sagebrush and desert flowers.
This trip took place in late September and we were fortunate to travel during peak Aspen leaf viewing season!
