Sightseeing
One of the Great Dikes in Spanish Peaks country. These vertical granite formations were formed by molten rock several thousand feet underground, below and among many layers of sedimentary rock. Over time, the ground rose and the softer rock eroded away, exposing these igneous intrusions. You can get great views of four of these Dike walls by taking a short drive on Hwy 12. south out of La Veta.
