Scenic Railroad

Step back in time aboard America’s most historic and scenic narrow-gauge railroad. The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad offers an unforgettable journey through the breathtaking landscapes of the Rocky Mountains, weaving across the Colorado-New Mexico border on a steam-powered train originally built in the 1880s.

This National Historic Landmark runs for 64 miles through dramatic mountain canyons, high desert, and alpine meadows, reaching elevations over 10,000 feet. Passengers enjoy vintage railcars, panoramic views, and a narrated experience that brings the Old West to life. Departing from Chama, NM or Antonito, CO, each ride includes a stop for a hearty lunch and plenty of photo-worthy moments.

Whether you’re a history buff, nature lover, or family seeking a unique adventure, the Cumbres & Toltec delivers a magical ride into the heart of railroad history and wild mountain beauty.
