The country store houses the former post office in corner-- keeping with Cuchara's motif in maintaining a turn-of-the-century mountain town.  Highway 12, known as the Highway of Legends, is one of Colorado's Scenic Byways.  From Trinidad to Walsenburg, the picturesque drive circles the Spanish Peaks and offers vistas and historic views.  My favorites were the charming village of Cuchara, the Dakota Wall and the coal oven ruins at Cokedale.
