Photograph classic steam locomotives negotiating the sweeping Tanglefoot Curve with pine-covered ridges and San Juan peaks as backdrop. Best at golden hour and during fall foliage or when the train emits dramatic steam. Located near Antonito—parking is limited, some viewpoints are roadside pullouts; trains run on a ticketed schedule (Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad). Weekdays and early mornings are less crowded; dress for high‑altitude weather.
