Heritage tours

Step on a train and step back in time. Visit a part of the country that has not seen the hand of man while enjoying a ride on a historic Steam Engine train..

Cumbres

Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad

Hidden away in a little-known corner of the southern Rocky Mountains is a precious historic artifact of the American West that time forgot. Built in 1880 and little changed since, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is the finest and most spectacular example of steam era mountain railroading in North America.

Rio Grande Scenic Railroad

Just over a century ago, the railroad opened the San Luis Valley to the world by laying tracks across its borders. Today, the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad whisks passengers to parts of the San Luis Valley – still wild and unspoiled by the last 100 years.
