Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad Tour
This tour will take you on a trip through time. You’ll step into the frontier west, just as it was! The puffing of the steam engine, the shrill of the whistle, and the conductor’s call, “All aboard!” will all add to your experience. This train is a rare historic treasure. Experience what it must have been like in 1880, as the train traveled on North America’s highest and longest narrow gauge railroad. The ride has been chosen as one of the 20 best railway experiences in the world by the International Railway Travelers. This is a beautiful time of year to take this trip. Fee includes transportation to and from Chama, overnight stay in Chama, train tickets, and a delicious lunch in Osier, CO.
