Chasing the Cumbres and Toltec. Fall 2018. Act 2: The train ride

My friend Brian parted ways the day we rode the train, so it was just my friend Justin and I. We had perfect fall weather for the ride and the Aspens were just about perfect with fall color. We rode the train from Chama, NM to Antonito, CO.
