Most of the canyons the tracks of the former Rio Grande run through are only accessible by rail, trail (in some instances), or rafting. However, Byers canyon is a nice exception. With the tracks running on the north side of the canyon, US-40 is paved and runs on the south side of the canyon. Here, the westbound Zephyr makes its way through the canyon with a colorful pair leading the train.
