Re: C&TS Schedule Question

Hi, Dave -

Nathan's answer (above) describes what I would recommend - ride the train from Antonito
to Cumbres, with lunch at Osier and a bus return from Cumbres to Antonito.

Or stay in Chama, ride the early-morning bus to Antonito, ride the train from Antonito to
Cumbres, and then ride the bus from Cumbres to Chama.

IMHO, starting from Antonito - especially since there are no double-headers from Chama to Cumbres - is the only way to go. The landscape just gets gradually more and more spectacular as you climb into the mountains, along the side of a very deep valley, and through two tunnels with the Los Piños River more than 650 feet below.

p.s. Per your p.m., you're planning to ride on October 1st. That should be VERY close to the peak of color season, which was September 29 last year - see [ngdiscussion.net] et seq.
