Saguache, Colorado
Long before Colorado 114 took drivers over the gentle Cochetopa Pass between Saguache and Gunnison, the corridor of rolling hills and lush stream bottoms provided a haven for travelers on foot for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
Evidence of their passage sits in the foothills above the highway in the form of wobbly, stone foundations and long-buried campfire sites, along with the stray arrowhead or pottery shard.
