Trinidad is poised to become one of Colorado’s next great destination.

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!
