The Fox Theatre Walsenburg is a must if you're coming to Walsenburg! Learn more about it's history here: spanishpeakscountry.com/fox-theatre/ And check out their upcoming showings on their fb page!
My Vaughn cousins are from Walsenburg having moved there from Newcastle, Texas to work in the Ludlow coal mine and were involved in the Ludlow Massacre on the coal miners side. They help organize the United Mineworkers and shut down the Madrid Coal Mines in New Mexico where mybAunt Ruby worked to stop the practice of paying the miners in script and keeping them in debt as in the song of that time,”Sixteen Tons”.

My dad lived in this area growing up. He said he and friends used to explore all over these mountains. Every time I see pictures of them, I feel a fondness I can't describe.

Love this photo by @unknownlandings at the Spanish Peaks Airfield! #spanishpeakscountry #wherelegendsroam
That is my friend Chris Roberts! He flew that beauty from Augusta, Georgia in late August, picked me up and we went on a big adventure over the Rockies and high desert then up into the green mountains of Oregon. Back again through the hot, hot low desert, over the canyons and mesa's of Utah and back into Spanish Peaks Country via Taos. Spanish Peaks Airfield is a great little hub!
Awesome....👍👍
Take me! I want to fly!
Where is the Spanish Peaks airfield?
It's never a bad time to take in the Spanish Peaks Country scenery 😍
So very True! It's always the perfect time to play in Spanish Peaks Country.
Looking a bit snowy from the backside of the Peaks today. Here's to a BIG winter!!😁❤
God painted us some amazing sites and memories in this country!
We just left there. The towns are closing up shop for the season, but if you have friends who stay year round it’s a great place to enjoy the quiet !

I just spent a few days at Bear Lake Campground located in the beautiful San Isabel National Forest at an elevation of 10,480 ft. Views of the nearby Culebra Mountain Range with aspen and spruce forests offer campers a genuine Colorado experience. I loved the solitude and clean air.
Come see the last surviving original adobe fort in the state of Colorado!DID YOU KNOW?
The Francisco Fort Museum is housed in the last surviving original adobe fort in the state of Colorado.
#FunFactFriday
There is an old log building, behind the house that Bruce and Janice Bailey owned, it is an old log cabin. According to our old landlord and a few other old timers, when I was 12-17, it was the first home built outside of the Fort. I don't know if it still stands but, I really hope so. I want to get some photos of it when I come home next month.
Have you hiked East Spanish Peak? Once a landmark for passing wagon trains, East Spanish Peak is now a superb excursion for modern-day adventurers.

Beautiful area.....we built there last summer
Enjoyed them driving to the sand dunes.
My grandparents once lived in Aguilar. Took a gravel road from there up to Twin Peaks. Used to go to Cucharas as a kid and picnic. Wish they were still there now that I am grown and could really appreciate the valued time and experience together! Love the memories!
I went over that mountain when I was a kid like it
I couldn't hike a molehill
Did it in Boy Scouts in 1983
Brandon Susen you hiked it without using any trails!! Remember grandpa could see you at the very top from his cabin! 😍

The Painted Horse Gallery
Being an Artist La Veta is one of my favorite places to visit and to paint. It was also the home of my Great Grandfather Richard Eden originally from England. He is buried there having been killed by lightning in 1919 at the age of 70.
