At 7,800 feet, it is surrounded by the San Juan Rockies and the Brazos cliffs, which are home to the Jicarilla Apache tribe. The town is a great place to visit if you love mountain scenery and hiking.

Nevertheless, you must keep in mind that these towns are remote and only serve as a starting point for long trips. For flights, you will need to fly into Santa Fe. However, the Santa-Ft.-Albuquerque International Airport is the nearest major airport. There is only limited commercial air service between these two cities. Alternatively, you can take the Amtrak train route from Los Angeles to Chicago and hop onto a shuttle bus between Lamy and Santa Fresno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The small town of Chama is a charming railroad hub that is less than 10 miles from the Colorado state line. It is home to a number of unique attractions including the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad and the Cumbres and Toltec Scavenger Railway. For outdoor activities, you can enjoy a wide variety of local attractions and shopping centers. If you&#8217;re looking for a comfortable lodging option, you&#8217;ll find it here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a little more luxury, try Corkins Lodge in Chama. This lodge is situated on five acres of lush wilderness a 30-minute drive from the city center. It is surrounded by 2,500-foot cliffs and is located under the peaks of the Brazos Mountains. Each cabin is uniquely designed and sleeps four to six people. There are trout fishing and hiking opportunities in the area. There is also a heated pool at Corkins Lodge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a place to have a good time, Chama is the perfect destination. Its location makes it an ideal getaway. The town is 120 miles north of Santa Fe, and its village is just 120 miles north of Santa Fe. You can catch a ride on the historic Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad every day from Memorial weekend until mid-October. You&#8217;ll be rewarded with spectacular views and fall colors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The village of Chama, New Mexico, is located in the Rio Arriba County.
