Are you traveling in or around Colorado or New Mexico? Then set aside some time for a half-day or even full-day trip on the well-known Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad, where this popular narrow-gauge steam train chugs along the border between Colorado and New Mexico. This mobile National Historic Landmark is a genuine coal-fired steam engine that travels a total of 64 miles across elevations as high as 10,000 feet. On this train route, you can enjoy autumnal colors, see historical buildings, and even an 800-foot gorge. If you like animals, the popular open gondola car is perfect for spotting bears, elk, and deer along the way as well.
