San Juan Mountains

The San Juan Mountains dominate the landscape across southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. Before the railroad, these mountains provided a challenge for anyone trying to cross them.

But today, all we need to do to get across to the San Luis Valley is hop aboard the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. The journey from Chama, New Mexico, to Antonito, Colorado, takes six hours by train (or one hour by car), but it provides scenic view after scenic view of the mountains, valleys, gorges and rivers throughout the entire journey.

So sit back and enjoy this incredible ride through the San Juan Mountains.
