When Is Peak Season for Fall Colors?

Despite trains running on the C&T line for 140+ years, it’s impossible to predict, but you will see an amazing abundance of gorgeous fall colors mid-Sept to mid-October. Here’s why - Aspen trees in the Rocky Mountains grow from elevations of 6,500 to 10,500 feet and peak season at one elevation is different from another. The C&T runs from 7,863 feet to 10,015 feet at Cumbres Pass, passing through variety of shades on the mountainside and that variety of color is a breathtaking sight that makes a ride on the C&TSRR the trip of a lifetime.

Book now and steam under a canopy of bright gold quaking leaves while listening to the chug of a steam locomotive and watching billowing clouds of steam curl up into a Rocky Mountain sky as the whistle echo off the hills. Travel mile after mile through some of the prettiest aspens that Colorado and New Mexico can offer. Trains run through October 23rd - get onboard!
