In-Depth Information
tionally cute La Veta, where there are more churches than paved roads, and the Spanish
Peaks make for a spectacular backdrop as you check in to La Veta Inn.
When to Go
The route is open year-round but it's especially nice in spring; while winter still lingers in
the high country it's warmer here.
Worth a Stop
On your way down Hwy 12 from La Veta toward the I-25, stop at the excellent mining
museum in Walsenburg before heading north.
