If you’ve driven south from Colorado into New Mexico on I-25, then you’ve passed by the picturesque foothills town of Trinidad. With a dazzling historic district that’s laid out over several hillside blocks, along with endless alpine forests to the west, Trinidad is an awesome road trip spot.

Trinidad’s a wallet-friendly destination with a variety of hotel choices. You can find a cozy bed and breakfast tucked away, alongside a myriad of reliable 2 and 3-star accommodations. Once you’re settled, there are loads to do in Trinidad, all year long.

Like most of Colorado, outdoor recreation reigns supreme here, with the only thing absent being a ski area. Wolf Creek and Taos, NM are just under three hours, and you can be at Angelfire in New Mexico in under two.
