The Most Scenic Train We Have Ever Seen!

















If a picture is worth a thousand words these don't even come close! We rode the Cumbres Toltec "Cinder Bear" express from Chama, New Mexico to the Cumbres Pass in Colorado at over 10,000 feet. The scenery was majestic and breath taking, and the day was gorgeous for a train ride. We all had a great time on the "Cinder Bear" express. The train stopped at Cumbres Pass and they provided us with a sack lunch and sodas. We also got to go on a nature hike while there. That is the picture we took next to the lake.

Levi loved the Cinder Bear but was also scared to death of him. Luckily they gave all the kids coloring books and posters of Cinder Bear. Levi continuously opens his poster and says "Bear Bear" But when "Cinder Bear" would come close he would wrap his talons around mommy like a sloth in great peril - oh and cry at a piercing decibel level that almost shattered the train windows. Luckily they were all down. We hope you enjoy this blog - Ethan and Levi were my special helpers making it.
