    Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad - 6/27/2024

    Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad

    (24 reviews)

    I wrote a review for the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad in Chama, NM…read more The same railroad has a depot in Antonito, CO, so here goes a similar review... My daughters, significant other, and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip aboard the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. We were in Antonito, CO by 8AM to checkin as I was notified to be so we could ride about one hour to Chama, NM, via charter bus. We took this route since my SO lives near Antonito. As soon as we arrived at the train station, we had enough time for a restroom break which had a super long line of older women - just being truthful - LOL, then it was all aboard engine #484. Keep in mind, there are restrooms on the train. Our first docent in deluxe car B was awesome! She was funny. Pointed out features and historical facts in a timely manner. She had breakfast pastries out for us before we sat down. The docent we had after lunch at the halfway point was terrible. I spent most of my time standing with the breeze in my hair in the gondola car. The precipitation the landscape received as of June 27, 2024, made the ride much more enjoyable. It was gorgeous. The buffet lunch at Osier was surprisingly delicious. It was prepared by a women's group. Two adult and two child tickets for the whole ordeal was not cheap: $711.90 which included historical preservation fees in addition to other fees. I only wish the chairs were more comfortable and adult beverages could be bought and drank in the deluxe cars. We arrived back in Antonito at about 4:30PM. I probably won't do it again for a long time if ever again, but I have amazing photos of my daughters and memories I hope I'll not soon forget. Highly recommend.

    Some argue more scenic than the Durango train. I would disagree but this is definitely scenic. My…read moretrip in mid October traveled through the high mesa country along the New Mexico -Colorado border area with trees in bright yellows. I started at Antonito CO then traveled to Osier for lunch before continuing into Chama NM and riding the bus back. The narrow gauge allowed for sharper turns and numerous picture opportunities of the engine in action. The train twists its way up the side of a mesa before heading high above a second valley floor. Occasional rock cuts plus a few tunnels add to the journey. But for most it's the chugging of the locomotive, the swaying of the car and the lack of cell phone coverage that makes this trip relaxing. At Osier the train pulls onto a siding where it is greeted by the eastbound out of Chama. Here passengers are treated to a lunch of pulled pork, roasted chicken, salads, beans, potatoes and dessert. Once full you board either the continuation of your original train or head back to where you came. The trip lasts approximately 6.5 hours including the hour four lunch and travels about 65 miles. Elevations range from the bottom at 7500 feet to Cumbres Pass at just above 10,000 feet. There is an open air car, snack car and people are free to stand on the end platforms of each car. The bus option take 1:05 to get from one depot to the other. Mine was after the trip but one could get it done early in the morning as well. I suggest doing the whole run and use the bus. It's an all-around great trip. Grumpy old man note: young kids will love this trip for about an hour. Then they are going between cars and trying to overcome boredom. If traveling with kids too young to just sit and watch for hours then I recommend the shortest trip option available.

    Free Trolley tours start at the Welcome Center and last around an hour. I've been to Trinidad…read morehundreds of times but I learned a lot on this tour. Mini-pirate loved it. The trolley passed us a dozen times during our stay in Trinidad, and the drivers would ding the bell when they passed him. By the time we walked onto the trolley, he was about to burst. Our tour guide was Shelly, and she grew up in Trinidad and adds some local humor and flair to the guided tour. She's awesome. There is one section where you get off the trolley and walk and that lasts about 10 minutes, otherwise, you are seated the entire time. The trolley is air conditioned, so the windows are closed. We really enjoyed ourselves on this tour, but I would especially recommend it if you have young kids who love trains, trolleys, and things that go.

    This is a free trolley that runs every day from 10am-2pm every day from Memorial Day to Labor Day…read more We didn't know what to expect, but we learned so much about the history of Trinidad. The guide made the city come alive for us and very patiently answered any questions. It was full on a Sunday afternoon, so plan ahead. The tour was about 1.5 hours long and ended with the gorgeous artwork in the Trinidad Hospital. The tour is worth it just to see that. They do accept donations, so bring a little bit of money, because after this tour, you will definitely want to contribute to the efforts to keep the history of Trinidad alive.

I…read morereached out to Peter for a customized walking tour for our group about a year ago, and I'm so glad I did. With several decades in the travel industry, Peter was a consummate professional. He was knowledgeable, he took the time to understand our group interests and dynamics, and he came up with a jam-packed, information-rich tour that everyone LOVED, led by four guides that everyone had nothing but glowing reviews for. I couldn't have been happier with Peter, his guides, or the tours they led us on. We all left with a deeper, richer understanding of and appreciation for Santa Fe. Highly recommend.

    I recently came to Santa Fe on a large group visit. Our group was split up among a number of…read moreCamaratour's guides. I was lucky enough to be in Peter's group. Our tour was interesting, funny, and interactive. Peter was excellent at managing our large and lively group, and balanced education with entertainment like the pro he is. I was particularly appreciative of the context he provided to us of the historical facts so that we could truly begin to understand Santa Fe's past and present. As a Bostonian, I was ready to fight when he started talking about oldest this and oldest that, and I left his tour far more aware of the huge blind spots my northeastern education left me with, although he started to help me fill them. Friends who were with other tour guides from the company similarly raved about their experience.
