Huerfano County presents breathtaking scenery, fascinating history and a wealth of recreational options. Walsenburg is located on I-25 and US 160, with access to Colo. Hwy 10. As the county seat, it has served as a trade center for the county and region. Walsenburg is named in honor of Fred Walsen an early pioneer, who opened the first coal mines. The town grew quickly following the discovery of coal. Over 50 mines were developed. The mines began closing in the 1950’s and are no longer in operation.

Amidst nature’s great beauty, La Veta offers a refreshing small-town quality of life combined with the sophistication of art galleries, theater, dining, a fitness center, musical entertainment, and shopping.  Highway 12 is known for its’ scenic beauty and is called the Highway of Legends, National Forest and Colorado Scenic Byway.
