Your Guide to Las Animas County and Huerfano County in Southern Colorado
WestonWeston was the site of much open gambling in the late 1800's, boasting five saloons, several general stores and a jail that was often full. At this time the Jicarilla Apaches were fond of attacking the townsite. On August 25, 1888, the Maxwell Land Grant Company tried to seize Weston and the Wet Canyon area because of its' lumber and the beauty of the countryside. Legend and oral historians have it that Black Jack Ketchum robbed a Wells Fargo coach and deposited his booty somewhere in the hills around town. These days Weston is a quiet little town with most action centered around the Weston Supply and the Post Office right next door. The road directly north of Weston Supply leads into Wet Canyon and, about 17 miles in, crosses the ridge into Jarosa Canyon and heads east, going through Gulnare and Aguilar to the I-25. On the east side of town is an entrance to Bosque del Oso State Wildlife Area, 30,000+ acres of prime elk habitat. Just look out for the bears.
