Favorite Local Activities

There are several lovely gift shops in Cuchara Village

The Bear Den gift shop also has mini golf. Facebook link

The Dog Bar is a long time favorite with locals and visitors alike. Bring your favorite furry family member and eat and drink on their patio!

The Yacht Club is new and quickly becoming another local favorite. They have light food, drinks and a big outdoor area often with music.

We LOVE the Cuchara Mountain Park, formerly the Cuchara Ski resort! This park is a work in progress, so look up the latest on Facebook

The park has a terrific 18 hole frisbee golf course! Links here for course maps - Holes 1-9 and Holes 10-18

One of our favorite activities is an old refurbished mini golf course from the '90s! Bring your own clubs, golf balls - and camera!

And of course there are trails for hiking, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, sledding and self-powered down hill skiing!

Shopping / Drinking / Art / Music Venue: Shout out to the La Veta Mercantile... our favorite space! Another favorite is the Deer Print Bistro.

Main Street shopping and then stop by Charlie's Market for a snack at their ice cream sundae bar

Shopping / Art Galleries: La Veta has many artists in residence - and several lovely art galleries as a result. Shout out to Shalawalla for offering Batik classes.

Museum / Library: The La Veta library is amazing! located in an old house, and near the Francisco Fort Museum - we highly recommend a stop by!

Local Micro Brew / Music Venue: Shout out to the Crafty Canary (female owned!) brewery... they offer fantastic home brews and a variety of events and activities to keep guests entertained. Facebook link

Coffee / Shopping Venue: Serendipity Coffee Shop has tasty coffee, and a well stocked retail area with lots of gift ideas. Stop by to support this terrific local business! Facebook link

Antique Avenue Shopping: If you like antiques and similar boutique items, then you will enjoy a stroll down Main street. Facebook link
