The highway of legends is just before La Veta Pass between Walsenburg and Trinidad (Highway 12).
This is a road that should be driven slowly. The scenery is spectacular, there are many unusual rock formations and the road in one spot rides along what was one of the largest open seam coal mines in Colorado.
If you're heading through the Southern part of the state this is a side trip well worth taking!
