Trinidad, Colorado

The Timeless Adventure

In the biggest city in Colorado’s biggest county, we’ve got a giant secret.

Nestled between Fishers Peak mesa and the Spanish Peaks, at the edge of the Rockies, you’ll find a rare trifecta of historical landmarks, a vibrant arts and architecture hub, and unparalleled outdoor recreation.

This blend wasn’t built overnight. It’s been forged by centuries of cultures and characters – from Native American Utes and early settlers to coal miners and creatives. Now, it’s yours to discover.

We’re halfway between Denver and Santa Fe on I-25, perfect for a day trip or a longer retreat. And now that you’re in on the secret, why wait? Explore southeastern Colorado’s hidden gem.

The Santa Fe Trail, America’s first commercial highway, passed through Trinidad. Today, it’s still a launchpad for adventure, where every trail you take leads to something unforgettable.
