Description

| Comanche National Grassland
|
Exhibits at sites along Highway 350, between La Junta
and Trinidad, provide a look at Trail life. Visible
ruts can be found at this site. There is a sheltered
picnic area near the town of Timpas, Colorado. The USDA Forest Service
manages the Comanche National Grassland. |
| Iron Spring and Timpas Stage Station
|
Iron Spring is 11 miles west of Timpas, Colorado on
US Highway 350, and then 1 mile south on a gravel road. It was an important
water supply on the Trail and ruts are still visible near the spring.
Timpas served as a stage station and a few
building remains are nearby. This site was the scene of several Indian attacks.
