If you like scenic old steam trains, ride the one in Durango and then the one in
Chama N Mex. Spectacular scenery on both.
We typically spend about a month every year in Durango….we’ve ridden the train to Silverton, to Cascade Canyon and even ridden it for the Polar Express (grandchildren) during December when we stay in Durango for Christmas.
Might try the one in Chama….thanks!
If you ride the Cumbres & Toltec Steam train (Chama/Antonito) I suggest you ride the train between Antonito and Chama and the bus between Chama and Antonito. From Antonito the trail begins in the high dry plateau and gradually climbs up into and thru the mountain passes and alpine valleys giving a dramatic change in environment and climate culminating in Chama. The reverse path ends somewhat less inspiring in the dry less scenic country. You can book the trip either way from either end. Either way it is a great ride.
