CHAMA, NEW MEXICO Refreshingly Different All Four Seasons!

It’s motto says it all for this high mountain, 1880s railroad village. Set at the base of 10,000 ft Cumbres Peak in the North-Central Rockies of New Mexico, Chama offers history, local flavor, railroading, outdoor adventure and more! The beauty of the setting is unparalleled.

The Rio Chama runs through town offering superb native trout fishing... a train sends smoke, cinders and the mournful wail of its whistle throughout the town (the 130 year-old narrow gauge steam train of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad carries tourists over a 64-mile high-mountain scenic route untouched by man)... outdoor adventurers take delight in the four seasons of outdoor activities (from bird-watching to trophy elk hunts to pristine cross-country ski terrain)... a quaint downtown filled with hundred-year-old historic buildings, tasty restaurants offering up popular 'red or green' New Mexican fare, local arts & craft shops, lodging of every variety and price... all set on a main street below the glimmer of the old-time gas lamps lining the way.

Budget friendly, family friendly, pet friendly... even biker friendly - Chama offers something for everyone. Chama is charming... and Chama is refreshingly different!
