Nestled among the gorgeous scenery that Colorado is known for lies a sweet little town. La Veta is home to rolling fields tucked safely beside the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. This little region is also home to some of the most unique geological features in the country, including the Scenic Highway of Legends, the most scenic byway in Colorado.
La Veta means to vein in Spanish because it served as a lifeline to other communities in the area. As a busy trading center, La Veta provided the neighboring areas with vital supplies to help keep them thriving.
