Apr 10, 2016 — Located in the Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico, the Alamagordo-Sacramento Mountain Railway was abandoned in the mid 1900s, and now remains a preserved bit of history. This Cloud-Climbing Rail Trail is a short excursion that checks out the Mexican Canyon Trestle. A short hike leads down from the parking area along a few switchbacks and down to a viewpoint of the trestle. Along the way there are some old wooden remains from the line. To make the hike into a loop I took the lower portion on the way back, just a nice woodsy walk.
