Chama, New Mexico and the Cumbres & Toltec Railway
Chama is a superb base from which to explore. The Cumbres & Toltec Railroad operates its trains from here, and the Fall scenery is superb in all directions.
This highway parallels the tracks, and actually crosses them three times. The combination of the scenery along the roadway and the trains is pretty spectacular (See: ‘Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railway’ gallery).
