Year Built

The Rise of a Cultural Icon: MTV launched on August 1, 1981, forever changing the way we experience music. The very first video? Video Killed the Radio Star—how fitting. Just imagine the 80s without big hair, neon, and music videos—no chance!

Huerfano County’s history is a vibrant narrative of pioneering spirits, with early settlers drawn to its fertile lands and scenic beauty. Cuchara, originally known as Nunda Canyon, symbolizes the area’s agricultural roots, with its name reflecting the region’s Native American heritage and its transformation into a bustling community centered around farming, especially potatoes. The evolution of Cuchara into a beloved summer resort in the early 1900s and later a ski destination highlights the area’s adaptability and the allure of its natural environment.

Today, it offers activities from hiking and disc golf in the summer to snowshoeing and backcountry skiing in the winter.
