    It is the longest, highest narrow gauge railroad. Rail tracks were put down in 1880, it went from…read moreDenver to the Rio Grand. Toltec pass was over 10,015. Riding on the train and looking at at how narrow the tracks were and the mountains sides where they were cut out to make the rail line. We sat in the parlor car ( last car on the train) you could go out back on the train and take pictures. When we enter our car our hostess ( I forgot her name) w met us with a friendly smile. Where each person sat there was a fresh donut, water bottle, and a small insulated bag. The in side of the car was beautiful redone. We passed old telegraph poles, and the tiny little office where the telegraph person worked. We had a truck followed us with fire equipment on it in case the train caused sparks to start a fire. Then a little fire car followed us when the truck could not. Thought that was interesting. We passed so much beautiful green fields, mountains and a lot of Aspens. I bet it is beautiful in the fall. We arrived at a restaurant train stop for a delicious lunch of either chicken or meatloaf. Best meatloaf I have had in a long time. Served by a bunch of cowboys from Texas. The trip back was relaxing and we decided to have a Bloody Mary, delicious. Saw a lot of Elk on the way up and back. Well worth the trip. So many decanted volunteers that have work so hard to keep trains like this running.

There was a stop midway, for a delicious buffet lunch. There was an open car for outdoor viewing. Windows easily opened.

    Wow! What a great trip. We started on the train in Antonita. Got the Parlor car B. Boarded at…read more9:45 and we were off at 10:00. Great chair by the window with a bar area for you. Very comfortable. Windows opened. They had donuts and gifts for us when we got on. Seats 1-10 are on the east side and sunny, but we got the best views as we got into the mountains. The car had a bathroom, drinks, and the wonderful Darlene to take care of us and fill us in on the history. Beautiful views. Just awesome. Stopped up top somewhere for a nice lunch. Salad bar, several soups, turkey dinner or meatloaf. The sweet green beans were unusual and delicious. Several desserts, warm peach cobbler was good. Very nice people up there doing the lunch. The train trip took about 6 hours with 45 minute stop for lunch. You can walk thru the cars and there is an open car for better views. Went thru 2 tunnels. We bused back from Chama to Antonito. Took around an hour and pretty views also on the ride. So glad we finally took the trip.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.
