| The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is a treasure. It attracts us in so many ways and has something to offer
almost anyone. Set in the southern
San Juan Mountains of Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico, the historic
railroad traverses an amazing variety of terrain from high plains desert,
through transition zones and canyons, to sub-alpine meadows. The train ride is a delight for anyone who enjoys the high
country with up-close looks at the striking geology, colorful wildflowers, and
occasional glimpses of wildlife. The
historian will gain insight into the development of the Southwest and for the
railfan, it is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience railroading in the
early decades of the twentieth century.
