CHAMA, N.M. — Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad excursions this fall are selling quickly, the railroad reports, with some September dates almost sold out in all ticket classes and Parlor class seating available for only three dates in the entire month.
“Autumn is always a popular time to ride the Cumbres & Toltec,” Scott Gibbs, C&TSRR commissioner, said in a press release. “And this year, advance sales are surging. Anticipation is high that this will be an especially colorful fall season due to the ample rain we had. If you want to ride with us, book now.”
Fall colors along the route can be spectacular because of the aspen trees in both states, and the Cumbres & Toltec’s altitude range of 7,863 to 10,015 feet means colors change at varying times along the route, one reason the fall trips are so popular.
Trips depart from Chama or Antonito, Colo., and along with regular full- and half-day rides, special events on the schedule include a geology train, two photo charters, and six days of operations with visiting Galloping Goose No. 5.
More information and booking is available at the Cumbres & Toltec website.
