La Veta has an impressive artist community. Check out the galleries and gift shops on Main Street!
Located on Main street in La Veta, this museum comprises a handful of old buildings which house an astonishingly extensive collection of antiques, relics and artifacts from the pioneer days of the region.
Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve is just 1 hour 10 minutes away from La Veta!
The Sangre De Cristo mountains lie just west of La Veta containing some more challenging hikes including the 14ers Blanca Peak, Mt. Lindsey and others.
This place is a bit of a detour on your drive up or down from Denver, but well worth the trip.
