Aspens in New Mexico/Colorado
 

These pix are from another forum I follow occasionally. It's a little town in New Mexico, Chama where the Cumbres and Toltec narrow gauge train operates. The train takes tourists through some of the most beautiful country I have ever seen. It is right on the northern New Mexico/southern Colorado border. The train starts in NM and ends in CO.

Anyway, the aspens just changed color to a brilliant yellow/orange. I've never seen it because it only last for 3-4 days, maybe a week. The wind will blow the leaves off very soon after they turn yellow. Gary has seen it several times when he would go hunting in Colorado about this time of year. Gary and I used to camp in the summer in our travel trailer, very close to where these pictures were taken. We can't go up there anymore cuz Gary can't take the altitude. It is a beautiful place!

Someone posted pictures of the aspens just a few days ago. Simply stunning! Here's a link to more pix http://www.trainstuff.info/forctsrrp...fallcolors.htm

Here's a couple more pictures where you can see the train. It's an old steam engine. Very cool Gary and I have ridden, it is so much fun!

Look at that SKY!!!

Gayle that is beautiful!! I love all the yellow! And the sky is breath taking! Thanks for sharing:)

We went through Chama 2 years ago on our way to Durango to ride the narrow gauge railroad to Silverton. It is gorgeous through there, even though the leaves were just beginning to turn.

We've rode the narrow gauge from Durango to Silverton and it is wonderful! We went in July one year and it was snowing when we got to Silverton! The train from Chama to Antonito is great too. I wish I could ride when the aspens are changing.

Oh Gayle...the pictures are just breathtaking! I wish I could see it in person.

Absolutely beautiful!!! It sure makes you want to go there!! I'd love to ride the train!!

Postcard beautiful

Something else for the bucket list!! Thank you for sharing!!

You made me smile!!!
