- Track Across Boarder Byway (TABB) Driving Tours
-
Following the historic D&RGW railroad grade that once linked the towns of Chama, NM and Durango, CO, the Byway passes through settlements, reservation land and various terrain to complete the story of the Durango & Silverton and Cumbres & Toltec railroads. TABB was officially recognized in both Colorado & New Mexico as a historic and scenic byway in 2015. Drive this backcountry byway to step back in time and see the little-changed western landscape and learn about the deep, rich history of this part of the old American west.
