Starting the trip
On the Devil's Nose Train Ride. Notice that the mountain in the distance has been cultivated.

Nariz del Diablo, or Devil's Nose train - was named after the near vertical mountain of the same name which blocked the route. Engineers designed a series of switchbacks which allowed the train to climb nearly 2700 feet at a gradient of 1-in-18 by going forwards then backwards up a second set of tracks. tracks.
