Ancient fossils still lie hidden in the bold and bronzen buttes of Badlands National Park, a protected wilderness penetrated by hiking and biking trails.
This route traces the fascinating history of southern Colorado, where three peoples - Americans, Mexicans, and Native Americans - all contributed to the culture and history of the region. Passing by historic mining towns, ranches, trading posts, and stage stops, this loop route includes a large number of places to stop and explore the history of the region.
Connecting Pueblo, Colorado City, and Westcliffe, the paved route passes by the Wet Mountains and the San Isabel National Forest.
