Trinidad is poised to become one of Colorado’s next great destination. This small town in the southeastern corner of the state may not be famous yet, but it was an important place during the 1800s as a stop along the Santa Fe Trail. The city is full of history, and there are several museums where you can learn about what life was like in the 1800s. You can also go even further back in time at the Louden-Henritze Archeology Museum, which contains artifacts from prehistoric humans dating back thousands of years!
