Huerfano County Colorado Tourism

A volcanic plug in the middle of the prairie, Huerfano (war-fano) Butte was used as a landmark and lookout post for Spanish, French and American traders, trappers and explorers as they traveled the Santa Fe Trail.

The County known as “Orphan County” takes its name from the Butte. It is home of the Spanish Peaks which according to American Indian legend, rain was created here to nurture their lands and produce a paradise on earth.

There are many places to see on your visit here including San Isabel National Forest, Lathrop State Park, Huerfano River State Park, Blue and Bear Lakes and Wahatoya Lake are just a few.
