The southern San Luis Valley city of Antonito is rich in culture and history from the Ute Indians and the Spanish who called the valley home. Antonito lies between the Conejos and the San Antonio rivers at an elevation of 7,888' and is the gateway to the beautiful, 40-mile Conejos River Canyon where outdoor enthusiasts can fish, hunt and hike. The upper Conejos River offers excellent trout fishing and the lower part is good for rainbows, browns and the occasional northern pike. The Platoro Reservoir has wonderful fishing for browns, rainbows and some kokanee soon after the spring thaw and is stocked with rainbow trout in the summer. No matter the river or lake, fishermen will always have something biting their line in Conejos River Canyon area.
Antonito was once the "mainline" of the infant Denver and Rio Grande railroads. Today, Antonito is the main station for the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad - the highest and longest narrow-gauge railroad in the North American continent - an authentic railroad trip to Chama, New Mexico, that brings Colorado history to the present day.
Nearby the town of Conejos boasts the oldest church in Colorado, Our Lady of Guadeloupe Church. The Rio Grand National Forest offers rolling hills, river canyons, and thick pine and aspen forests to explore.
It's been over 50 years since passengers have traveled this historic pass over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains between the towns of Alamosa, Antonito and La Veta. Steep grades and cliff-hanging curves await you. Once the rail hub of the region, Alamosa is the departure point for Colorado's newest scenic railroad!
Antonito is near: Alamosa - CO, Chama-NM, Platoro-CO & Taos-NM
