Your Guide to Las Animas County and Huerfano County in Southern Colorado
TrinidadTrinidad, Colorado is the county seat of Las Animas County. Located between exits 11 and 15 on the I-25 at the foot of Fisher's Peak (elevation: 9,665 ft.). Trinidad is alive with history. Felipe Baca and a number of other entrepreneurs opened the town for business in 1862 so they could take advantage of business opportunities along the Mountain Branch of the Santa Fe Trail, which ran right through downtown and south over Raton Pass. In 1882, coal was discovered and a cry went out to Europe for skilled mining labor. The folks who responded formed the basis for the present cultural mix of Hispanic, Italian, Greek, Polish, Irish, Lebanese, Slavic, and Northern European families. Trinidad was incorporated in 1876. It was a rough and tumble town through these turbulent years but Bat Masterson and other lawmen slowly brought civilization and relative peace to Trinidad. By the early 1900's, the red light district, the gamblers and most of the saloons were relegated to the area of West Main Street where the Fox Theater and the Safeway are now. That was the end of town and the beginning of the trail over Raton Pass and on to Santa Fe. The railroad, cattle and agriculture still make up the bulk of Trinidad's industrial base. Trinidad is also a regional center for education and the arts and a great starting place for fishing, hiking, hunting, and skiing adventures The entire downtown of Trinidad, with its' wealth of Victorian architecture, has been declared a National Historic District. In addition to the oldest state college in Colorado, Trinidad State Junior College, the city has five museums, a full service hospital and a state nursing home. There are 11 tennis courts, a municipal swimming pool and a nine hole city-owned golf course. West of town on Highway 12, the Scenic Highway of Legends, is Trinidad Lake State Park, a prime place for fishing, hiking, boating, and camping. Nearby is the San Isabel National Forest, Sugarite State Park, Vermejo Park Ranch, and the National Rifle Association's Whittington Center. Cuchara, Angel Fire, Red River, Taos, Sipapu, Wolf Creek, Monarch,Santa Fe, and Rio Costilla ski areas are all within two to three hours drive. Trinidad also gets daily train service from AmTrak.
