    Default Highway of Legends



    So this is not a 4x4 video, but it is a road trip in Colorado and IMO a pretty cool video.

    "Come, Visit Southern Colorado's Scenic Highway of Legends. This is truly one of the most unique and beautiful drives in the state. The Byway follows sections of I-25, State Hwy. 12, U.S. Hwy. 160 and Cordova Pass Road in circular fashion around the East and West Spanish Peaks. Gateways to the Byway can be found in Walsenburg, Aguilar, Trinidad and La Veta. Come, visit the sites of some of the most notable events and waypoints in Colorado History. See the land where coal was king in Walsenburg and where the strife between owners and laborers reached a climax at the infamous Ludlow Massacre took place in 1914. See the historic City of Trinidad, where westward bound pioneers reached the banks of the Puratoire River after crossing the high plains on the Northern Branch of the Santa Fe Trail. Come, experience an unspoiled alpine setting as you wind your way through the Sangre De Cristo Mountain Range and through some of the most unique geological features in the World, the Radial Dikes. Take a hike or have a picnic along in the remote wilderness that surrounds Cordova Pass. Come and visit the enchanting Village of Cuchara. Ride the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad or play the links at Grandote Peaks Golf Course in the tiny Artist's Colony of La Veta.Come, Discover the other Colorado. Visit the Scenic Highway of Legends"

    That area is nice and worth the drive. Picketwire, Stonewall, North Lake, then to LaVeta. West from Aguilar along the base of the Spanish Peaks is nice too and you can come out on 12, I believe in or near Weston. Lots of elk, deer, and bear in the area too.
