Your Guide to Las Animas County and Huerfano County in Southern Colorado
The Scenic Highway of LegendsState Highway 12, the Scenic Highway of Legends ties Trinidad, Weston, Stonewall, Cuchara, La Veta, and Walsenburg together with a ribbon of asphalt that journeys through some of the most beautiful mountain countryside in the world. Going west out of Trinidad it passes the Trinidad Lake State Park before entering the Purgatoire River Valley. Then it passes by Cokedale, rated the "Best Preserved Coal Mining Camp" in Colorado. The old coke ovens can be seen right beside the road as you go by town. Next are Madrid and Valdez, two almost abandoned coal camps (the old mine works are right there) before coming to Segundo, a small town full of wonderful stone architecture. Continuing west you'll come to Primero and then Weston. The highway continues west to Stonewall.
You'll know when you reach Stonewall because it is named for the incredible stone walls that traverse the area from south to north. South of Stonewall are Torres, Tercio and Vermejo Park Ranch, an area known for the size of its' elk herd. From Stonewall, Highway 12 goes north past Monument Lake Resort (the lake is named for the Dakota sandstone monument that stood up in the middle of it until just a few years ago), past North Lake State Wildlife Area (trophy fishing lake and Trinidad city water supply) to Cuchara Pass (elevation: 9,995 feet). The entire length of Highway 12, the Scenic Highway of Legends, you are presented with vistas and panoramas of the Culebra Range (Culebra Mountain, elevation: 14,047 feet) of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. After you make the turn north at Stonewall, the Sangres are on the left and the Spanish Peaks (West Peak elevation: 13,656 feet, East Peak elevation: 12,708 feet) on the right.At times, looking to the east, you can see Fisher's Peak (elevation: 9,665 feet) rising to the southeast of Trinidad, 50 miles away.

Here the silver streams descend upon the rocks and soon are converted into threatening torrents, rushing by leaps and bounds to their multi colored rockbeds. The name Colorado was never better applied!" Take a look at this beautiful 62 Acre Parcel in the HISTORIC MORLEY TOWNSITE. The most photographed church in Colorado! |
