I am considering a trip to the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad sometime in mid-August.
I plan to ride the entire line, rather than one of the halfway trips offered.
Is there any advantage to starting at Chama or Antonito or vice versa? Or starting on the train and riding the bus back, or vice versa?
Also, I do plan to spend a night or two in either Chama or Antonito or somewhere nearby.
Does anyone have a preference of one town over the other for lodging, etc? I will be coming from visiting friends in Cimarron, NM... I'm not sure I can make it from Cimarron to the train and back in one day.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated... thanks!
