The Highway of Legends (Colorado State 12) is an 82-mile Scenic Byway in southern Colorado that loops around the Spanish Peaks. The route connects the towns of Trinidad, Walsenburg and La Veta, offering a blend of dramatic volcanic geography, mining history and native American lore.
Highlights of the trip include the "Wet Mountains," Stonewall, CO, and beautiful Cucharas Pass.
"The Highway of Legends" earned its name because the landscape is so dramatic that every peak, valley and rock has a story attached. to it. The legends are a blend of indigenous creation myths, Spanish explorer accounts and Wild West lore.
If you have never ridden the "Highway of Legends" or it has been awhile since your last visit, this trip should not be missed!
