Old La Veta Pass

This trail is an old train route that connected the east and west sides of the Sangre de Cristo mountains until the 1960s when the highway was put in. It is now an unmaintained road with no obstacles. There are several spots where you will traverse over the old paved road that has become little more than a few rocks in the road. There are several turn-off spots with great mountain views and a few spots where this trail will be considered a shelf road. However, it is very wide and not at all an issue.
