Learn more about Chama

Climb aboard the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, where vintage steam locomotives chug through mountain passes seemingly unchanged since the 1880s. The depot buzzes with enthusiasts who speak of grades and gauges with religious fervor. Downtown Chama offers the peculiar time-warp quality of a place undecided about which century it prefers. Local cafes serve green chile stew that will recalibrate your understanding of 'spicy.' Anglers wade into the Rio Chama with serene concentration, occasionally interrupted by whoops when trout bite. Carson National Forest surrounds the town like a protective embrace, offering trails where you might not see another soul all day. The Edward Sargent Wildlife Area proves humans are merely guests in this landscape.

Elkhorn Lodge

Elkhorn Lodge

8/10 Good
"The room was dated but very clean and quiet. The property needs some attention. I would probably try something else next trip. We enjoyed our trip and train ride. Chama itself is not unlike a cauliflower eared pugilist, as are many RR towns. In retrospect I find it part of a sort of literary charm. Everyone should ride that train what an experience."
