1. Spanish Peaks
The 82-mile Highway of Legends has many interesting features along the way, such as unusual volcanic formations from the Spanish Peaks, tales of outlaw hangouts, and sacred Native American sites. Near the town of Cokedale is an interesting long rock wall with holes resembling an ancient Roman road that is actually a string of old coke ovens used for smelting coal from a nearby mine. At this lower elevation, the fall colors are still a hint at what’s to come.
