Opening Journey

I-25:
Colorado to New Mexico

Three connected Towns. Three counties. One passage across Southern Colorado, over Raton Pass and into Northern New Mexico.

The road is part of the story

A journey made from places, not pins.

This opening LocalStash Journey connects Town Spotlights, locally owned Stashes and the changing landscape between them. It is a deliberate path through the Founding Region, not a ranking and not an automated list of everything nearby.
