Take a walk on the “Trinidad” imprinted brick-paved city sidewalks dating back to 1910 and discover the beauty of this Southern Colorado town that is constantly reinventing itself.
I lived there shortly up on the pass on the south side. Trin will always have a special place in my heart. Can hike for days with no trail and get a taste of what it may have been like in the late 1800s. Explore old encampments, fish, and listen to ancient voices on the wind. P+D= Trinidad ❤️
I lived in Trinidad from 1979 to 1981 . I went to TSJC. Since then I have lived in Alabama, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont. I can honestly say I still feel like I want to go back to Trinidad. There is something very special about this place to me. There are the obvious reasons, the weather, the natural beauty of the area and so on. But for me it's something I can't explain. I really miss this area and hopefully I can come back someday.

Special thanks to Dominic Junie Verquer las Animas county coronor and Margaret Eleanor Maria they got by with murdering my mom. Welcome to Trinidad colorado
When I was young I couldn't wait to leave Trinidad and I did, now I miss the pace and the sight of my loved ones who passed away, I will always be that hardheaded little son of a bitch that used to run the streets there but I will never forget my humble beginnings and how much as a child loved summer time...
My dad was born there in 1922. His family was prominent business owners. Amazing place. So glad I was able to visit. It really has an old school that was up hill both ways. Wish I had visited before my dad passed and better yet wish I could have visited with my dad.
I drove through Trinidad Colorado in the 90’s from Denver and the sight was absolutely breathtaking. The beauty of the mountains was the most beautiful I have ever seen.
My mom was from Trinidad, ten brothers & sisters, they grew up in a very small house in a very rural area. Still have cousins out in Colorado too, a nice place I hope I can go back to visit again someday.....
Thank you for producing this video! It was so enjoyable to learn about the history of Trinadad. I had no idea! My mother worked with Dr. Beiber. Being Spanish and Native American I appreciate the beginning of Trinidad in the making. This was so informative and I enjoyed every aspect of it! With artistry coming into the fold there is a great future again for Trinadad. I can't wait to retire here!
What a great documentary about my home town. So exciting what is happening there, and wonderful to see people I knew and loved. Thanks especially to Prof. Limerick, who made me feel proud to be from Trinidad.
I am from Alabama and have visited Trinidad.Beautiful town and great people and every time i have left i felt like i was leaving home though i never lived there.Will one day soon though it will be home
Only if you are a pothead. I left after 3 months. I was disappointed. But Trinidad looks like a rundown, whoremongering bordello, now. It is Sad. Panhandlers everywhere, as they refuse to work, but want you to support their drug habit.
I very much enjoyed the video. A great addition would have been the fasinating story of Bat Masterson as town marshal of Trinidad and how when Masterson was marshal he kept Doc Holiday from being arrested for murder in Arizona.
Lived there in '67-68 and as a teen couldn't wait to get away from a small town in the middle of nowhere. I wanted bright lights and the big city. Returned in the early '70s to TSJC and felt differently. I was back there last June and liked it a lot more, on a sentimental journey. But it was somewhat sad and depressing with all the weed shops, businesses I knew that were gone. The only one still there and open was the Safeway.
How about getting high on life instead of Marijuana. They call it DOPE for a reason. Worst thing they did to Colorado was make DOPE legal and now we have a lot of homeless bums running amok that have become a burden to We the Colorado Taxpayers. Transplants need to leave OUR state.
Everyone says " I love old towns !" "I love Colorado!"....but nobody says that back in those days it was prohibited to speak español in front of everybody if you have "Spanish" roots in your veins...
You all did a great job on that video... except for leaving out TSJCs beautiful little campus and Gunsmithing program and Parker Owen Ackley's history, success there, and influence on industry world wide. Trinidad really is every ounce of the awesome you make it out to be; hope you all are doing great... and looking forward to better still.. pretty sure you are. fishers peak too... so much to say about that town..and it's people incredible.
Colorado provides some of the best 19th - 20th Centuries examples of Architectural designs, in settings that allow fuller observation. Although several Historical Gems have been torn down in Colorado, the development of Historical Preservation Groups has truly made achievements. There's clearly more in 0laces like NY City, but they arent as easily viewed, nor in a setting that offers the more original perspective. I applaude Colorado for having a more Mature Minded concept and standards for securing History for the future generations.
In 2017 it was obvious in Trinidad the artist was not the current boom but recreational marijuana was and remains. Real estate values and rental prices are way up. Trinidad could be the recreational marijuana capital of the world and it's flooded with homeless.
Dr Patty Limerick, (I've seen her somewhere before), in a documentary or at a conference ... '?' I recall she is an "Authentic Academic", (follows the "Standards of Science and Research") - vs - "Mainstream Academics" which hold a 19th Century Theory as their focal fact foundation. She isn't afraid of the Facts, it's an impressive trait of ethics.
When the experts say “interacted” with do they mean had “relationships” with them, I ask because “friendship” would be more appropriate in the place of interacted with, traded, also fits, interacted sounds more like “computer” speak, not the usual use of English language. A small, but in my opinion, important point, one that many people seem to make, Architects DON’T build buildings, they design them, builders BUILD buildings designed by Architects, Architects don’t even do the structural engineering side of things, funnily enough, that’s done by structural engineers.
Lol......you will be disappointed as you'll have the smell of Crystal Meth cooking, no one works, looks like a whoremongering bordello, now. Used to be beautiful....no more, sad.
I would rent before you buy a house. I was living there in the early 1970's. Kind of a weird place. Lots of friction between the blacks, Chicano's and the whites. That was on campus, but it spelled over into the town. I can't say I miss the place, but I would like to visit one more time. Maybe go out to Baldy canyon.
Robert Gardea Trinidad actually has more close together than Denver or anywhere else on the planet we r the weed town USA named by high times for that reason look it up u will find more selection here than Denver as well maybe I think
I was raised in Trinidad, my family still owns rental property there now, it is humbling to visit the small house I was raised in compared to where I live now, I was taught to be thankful back then and I still feel the same way...
@@GirlMeetsWeedTrinidadCO well back in 1972 there were not any dispensaries. Plenty of bars catering 18 to 21 year olds and 21+. Wish that I could return to retire there. There wasn't a Walmart or the lake either.
Have you ever noticed that most town with Spanish names in Colorado don't have Saints names? I believe it's because the. first settlers were Spanish, Portuguese Jews that were running from the Spanish Queen that was executing them for not being Catholic. There are some tombstones in Northern New Mexico that have the Star of David on one side and the cross on the other side. I remember my dad saying we were Jewish.

Diane Morgan enjoys the permission government gives her to hate on people she thinks might be using drugs. Drug laws are all based in racism and that is a fact. Another name for meth is Adderall. I hate ignorance which is different from stupid, which are you?
=) imo and experience it's space saving and makes for easier dusting ... :P it's possible to get more books on a shelf AND wiping the flat surfaces of book covers is much easier .. I said easier 2 times.. :) to each his own they say! =) the only drawback is the possibility of toppling the stack when one tries to procure a book from anywhere but the top.. :(
It's a shame really, this could be a great place to live if there were job's to be had. Another beautiful place with nothing going on, being "diverse" doesn't pay the bills.
Nothing Going ON ? We r Weed City USA named by high times 2018 maybe that is Nothing going on to U but to a lot of people we r healing n feeding them w/weed ...yes r families here r doing well fr the weed industry ...we have plenty going on here and my bills r paid more n more tourists everyday come to check us out n some decide to stay because we have sooo much going on ...hunting n fishing guides ...construction workers...Artists....food , coffee n gift shop owners n workers (to name a few )also do very well here
Colorado offers an experiencing of the "Higher Minded aka Mature Minded", that occassionally looses its understanding of Higher Mindedness. Example: Non Judgemental of an Individual's choice of achieving truer self, all9wing use of natural products/herbs, (yet forbidding smoking if cigarettes within a city's boundary).
