An Unforgettable Mountain Journey to the North Pole!
Your family’s cherished holiday tradition starts here in Chama! Step into the storybook charm of this historic town and climb aboard a beautifully decorated vintage train for Santa’s Holiday Express.
Relax and spend joyful time with your loved ones on this 90-minute roundtrip adventure. The rhythm of the rails whisks you through scenic snowy meadows and pine forests, filling every car with holiday music, laughter, and the warmth of the season.
As the train departs, you’ll be welcomed by our friendly staff and elves with songs, smiles, and stories. Keep an eye out — there may even be a special visit from our beloved Cinder Bear! Anticipation builds until the grand moment arrives. Suddenly, the man in red himself appears! Santa joins the ride, greeting each child with festive cheer and a reminder of the magic of believing. This is your opportunity for a priceless photo and a precious memory.

What To Bring
For your comfort, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad recommends that you consider the following when planning your trip:
- The mountains can bring about sudden changes in the weather. It is important to wear layered clothing. Bring a warm coat, hat, and gloves!
 - Wearing sturdy, closed-toe shoes is also important to protect your toes and ankles when in the yard and on the train.
 - If spending time in the open gondola car, it is very important to wear protective eyewear to protect against cinders getting into your eyes. Sunglasses and prescription glasses are fine. We also sell safety glasses for your convenience.
