Los Caminos Antiguos
Los Caminos Antiguos Scenic & Historic Byway will take you through the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area, a landscape speckled in a diverse cultural richness, that dates back over 11,000 years. An experience that will immerse you in vast, untouched natural beauty and inspiring narratives of native tribes, explorers, frontiersmen, buffalo soldiers, ranchers, miners, and railroad boomers. Where today you can sand board down the tallest dunes in North America at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, have room to breathe, lay under a blanket of infinite stars in one of the nation’s darkest places. Take a ride on the longest, highest, and most authentic steam narrow gauge in North America, at the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad, and drift through the history between quaint towns of generations past in the back of beyond.
