Learn more about Chama

Climb aboard the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railway, 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. City centre 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.

Iron Rail Inn

Iron Rail Inn

8/10 Good
"The Iron Rail was a unique place to stay. The rooms are tiny, but well decorated and maintained. It was hot in the room and we slept with the windows open all night and the fan running. Thank goodness it was a rainy night, so the weather was a little cooler. The light had burned out in our room and staff was unable to change it, so it made it dark when getting dressed. There were no towels in the bathroom when we got up the next morning to shower with, but my husband found some in a closet down the hall. Overall, it was a fun experience."
