​Highway of Legends National Scenic and Historic Byway

One of the San Luis Valleys’ three nearby scenic byways is the Highway of Legends which spans 82 miles between the town of Aguilar on Interstate 25 and Colorado Highway 12 at Cuchara Pass. Along the ride, drivers will be welcomed by the Sangre de Cristos and surrounding mountains as they pass through a historically traveled route by the valley’s first explorers and settlers. This byway is overflowing with history and spiritual wonder that’s unique to our corner of the Rocky Mountains.
