Stop by for a hand scooped ice cream at the historic ice cream parlor and grocery. This little shop is quite literally the heart of La Veta.

This is a staple of the locals in La Veta and Cucharas. Food and drinks are delish, sit on the patio deck in the shadow of the West Peak and breathe in the Colorado air.

This is a fun little brewery with a cool vibe. Patio is dog friendly.

La Veta has heaps of hiking and walking trails, from beginner to advanced hikes available. Click the link below for some of the most popular options.

If you want to see more of the gorgeous scenery, Highway of Legends National Scenic Byway passes through La Veta and trails through the mountain pass. It is a lovely drive and with breathtaking views.

Bring your swim suit and beat the heat! Lathrop State Park has a fantastic beach and swim area, extensive trails, and available campsites for tents and RVs!

La Veta has a vibrant art scene and many galleries. Check out and support our local artists!

1.5 hours away but a worthwhile experience!
