Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad

Built in 1880 and little changed since, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is the finest and most spectacular example of steam era mountain railroading in North America. Its equipment, structures and vast landscape exist today as if frozen in the first half of the 20th century. USA Today readers voted Cumbres & Toltec the Best Scenic Train Ride in America. Climb aboard this National Historic Landmark for a 64-mile day trip you’ll never forget. Our coal-fired steam engine carries you through steep mountain canyons, high desert, and lush meadows as you zig zag between the Colorado and New Mexico border. Open your eyes to spectacular and rare Western scenery which can only be viewed from this train’s unique route. Ride in the Victorian elegance of our deluxe parlor car or choose the budget-friendly coach car. Either way, a delicious buffet lunch is included. Trains depart daily from Chama, NM and Antonito, CO, from late May’s blooming wildflowers through the golden leaves of October.

If you’re up an adventure, let’s stay the night in one of our base camps, and experience a campfire and the view of the stars from 12,000’. Or try a multi-day pack trip, seeing different country each day.

Cano's Castle

Reviewed By Alamosa2 - Alamosa, United States

If you’re driving through Antonito, Colorado, I suggest you take a few minutes to drive by Cano’s Castle. Cano, a Veteran and interesting person, told me he typically comes out and talks to people if they stop and stay more than a few minutes.
