A chartered steam locomotive — Locomotive No. 487, a 1925 Baldwin engine — carries the group across 64 miles of high-desert rail from Chama to Antonito, climbing 10,000 feet through aspen groves and Rio Grande gorge switchbacks. Picnic lunch of smoked brisket and local cheeses served in the observation car as mule deer graze below. Return to Taos for two nights at Hotel St. Bernard, a 1930s adobe lodge with kiva fireplaces and hand-painted vigas, then breakfast ritual at Michael's Kitchen — red chile enchiladas, sopapillas, the kind of meal that tastes like ceremony.
Caviar service, jazz trio, Gatsby attire, wake up in a new city.
Five quick questions, then we build the full itinerary — lodging, daily schedule, dining, bars, the group-chat message — and drop you into a Trip Room you can share with the crew.
