For the money, I don't think you can beat it. The scenery is beautiful, it's over 6 hours, and you're served a chuckwagon dinner. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. You'll also experience real smoke and cinders on this ride. You can also see Indiana Jones' boyhood home.

Nice ride, from Antonito it's mostly plains, but about an hour in, you start getting in to the hills. Very beautiful views. Staff is friendly too. Well worth it.
