Discover the wonder of the Spanish Peaks region with camping, hiking and scenic views

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:56:00 GMT

Two distinctive mountains that tower over the prairie of southern Colorado have gone by many names.To the Native Americans they were sacred and known as Wahatoya, meaning “breasts of the Earth.” To the Spanish they were Dos Hermanos, or “two brothers.” To white settlers they were an important landmark on the Santa Fe Trail, the easternmost peaks of the Rockies and a sign their long journey across the plains was nearing its end.Today they’re known as the Spanish Peaks. Historical significance aside, this area is an outdoor lover’s playground, often lacking the crowds found at other mountain ranges across the state.So this summer, instead of fighting weekend traffic on Interstate 70 or U.S. 285, why not take a drive south on I-25 to Walsenburg and explore one of Colorado’s lesser-known summer getaway spots? This is your guide to summer fun in Spanish Peaks Country.Farley’s Overlook, a pull-off on the Cordova Pass, is a favorite of travel...
