Outdoor Recreation

The Trinidad – Las Animas County region has emerged as Colorado’s premier gravel bike destination. With a network of more than 1,600 miles of gravel roads, it fuses Old West history with a rural cycling experience.

Tromp through the grasslands and mountains at one of the nearby state parks or the Spanish Peaks Wilderness.

Bring your binoculars and a sharp eye to spot broad-tailed hummingbirds, red-tailed hawks, great-horned owls, and other birds in Trinidad’s mountains and plains.

Make your next memorable catch at Trinidad Lake! Or cast your line for trout and kokanee salmon in high-altitude lakes and pockets near and along the Purgatoire River.

Float your boat – or kayak, paddleboard, water skis, or canoe – on the pristine waters around Trinidad.

Meander through piñon-juniper forests and rocky sections while enjoying views of scenic overlooks.

Experience a top-notch Colorado hunting adventure for small and big game.

When the skies darken, let the outdoors become your home away from home.

Bring your equine friends to enjoy trails at local state parks and in the San Isabel National Forest.

Hit the links at one of Colorado’s oldest, most creatively designed golf courses!

Looking for a quick jaunt? Check out one of the marked trails in historic Trinidad or along the Purgatoire Riverwalk.

These greenspaces are perfect for playing, picnicking, or just kicking back and feeling the breeze.

Try out archery, bocce ball, cross-country skiing, disc golf, geocaching, or a skateboarding park that’s earned a thumbs up from Tony Hawk.
