Pictured: The Cumbres and Toltec Train which travels between Antonito, Colorado and Chama, New Mexico.
Chama began to grow in 1881 when the Narrow Gauge Railroad came to the town. It became a transportation, logging and mining center for Northern New Mexico. Bordered by three wilderness areas, the Carson, Rio Grande and Santa Fe National Forests, one can view the beautiful New Mexico scenery. Now a small town with a population just over 1,200, try Chama in the winter for great cross-country skiing or for relaxing solitude from the everyday routine. Visit in the summer and ride the antique Cumbres and Toltec Train 64 miles from Chama to Antonito, Colorado. In the spring, be sure to visit El Chorro Falls. Created by mid-May snowmelt, this waterfall rushes over the Brazo Cliffs.

The lumber industry, ranching, and tourism are the main forces behind the economy in Chama. This town has excellent hunting, fishing, camping, boating, cross-country skiing and snow-mobiling. With 300 plus days of sun, summers in Chama are still relatively brief and the temperature never soars too high. Winters tend to be a little longer with a good portion of cold and snow. Are you looking for some peace, solitude, and beauty? Then visit Chama for a quiet, comfortable, and beautiful vacation.
