Designated as a National Historic Landmark, experience breathtaking Rocky Mountain views and savor the historic charm aboard the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. The Railroad was originally constructed in 1880 as part of the Rio Grande’s narrow gauge San Juan Extension, which connected Denver with isolated mining towns in the Rockies.

​

The historic Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad steam trains run daily from Memorial Day weekend to mid-October.

​

From the San Juan Mountains to the Conejos Valley, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad travels 64 scenic miles. Your ride begins in either Antonito, Colorado, or Chama, New Mexico. You’ll wind along steep mountain canyons, high deserts, lush meadows, over trestles, and through tunnels. The Cumbres & Toltec is a National Historic Landmark that moves – a completely authentic steam railroad.
