We took a drive south of La Veta following the "Highway of Legends". You drive up to the top of Cuchara Pass which has some s curves til you get to the top and then down a fairly steep grade. The good thing is it is not a long steep drop but I still wouldn't want to do it with an RV. It always amazes us that people will take this road with their RV. The other astounding thing is this is one of the evacuation routes out of La Veta if it floods YIKES.
The first beautiful site after the pass is this lake. It is a beautiful mountain lake. There were people fishing mostly in small rubber rafts and very small boats. These are all trout lakes and made from impounding the water runoff from the snow melt. We find most lakes like this are stocked with fish because there is little natural production. I would fish this just to enjoy the scenery - outstanding!
