La Veta

The well-established art colony of La Veta sits at the base of the Spanish Peak Mountains. The native Comanche called the twin peaks “Wahatoyas”, loosely translated: “Breasts of Mother Earth”. Drink in the vivid sites of the Cuchara valley, feeding your desire for exploration. History buffs have got to visit Francisco Fort Museum. Art connoisseurs partake in the numerous performing venues and visual art galleries. Plenty of cattle and elk ranches combine with outdoor trails to gratify the spirits of cowboys, mountaineers, and bikers alike.
