For the past few years, we’ve done a long weekend trip with the Rising Sun 4×4 Club of Colorado, riding and chasing the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad (one of my favorites). Traveling between Chama, NM and Antonito, CO, the tracks cross both state lines 11 times. Chasing vintage steam trains in some old Land Cruisers, it’s just a bunch of fun. And the San Luis Valley, well it doesn’t get much better than that.
