Southern Colorado’s premier city. Once a coal mining mecca and likely candidate for Colorado’s state capital, Trinidad became better known as the world’s sex-change capital due to the work of the now-deceased Dr. Stanley Biber, early pioneer of gender reassignment surgery.

Trinidad boasts a rich cultural history, dominated at various points by native plains tribes, Spanish colonialism, American expansionism, cowboys, coal miners, and hippie communes.

This is Trinidad, CO’s official subreddit!

Trinidad is a small mining town off of I-25 in Southern Colorado, and comes complete with old buildings and a Safeway's.

Rock climbing community in Trinidad?

Hey all, we're thinking of moving to the area, and I know the closest indoor climbing (and climbing community) would be in Colorado Springs. I'm wondering if there are any climbers in the area and what your experience has been, if so.

Any insight would be appreciated!

Can anyone tell me what this was originally

https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/1712-San-Pedro-Ave-Trinidad-CO/29348189/

It appears to look like a church on acid. What would you do with such a weird building?

Bmobile issues

Anyone having issues with bmobile prepaid? On a few occasions I’ve noticed credit being deducted and I know my data was off, I removed the auto renew feature and I didn’t make any calls. Just a moment ago I put on a phonecard and I got a WhatsApp’s call(I have Wi-Fi from Flow at home) and after 30 minutes or so when the call was finished,I preceded to put a plan on my phone only to be notified that I have insufficient funds but I know it’s supposed to have funds as I not too long put on a phonecard and saw the credit on my account. Called bmobile and they said I have to call back 24 hours from now for the situation to be rectified.

What going on downtown?

I was in Trinidad on Monday and saw a bunch of broken out windows… dispo tender said something about a dispute between a shop and some people in Raton? She also mentioned something else about the unhoused but I didn’t know what she meant by them “acting wild lately”.

Hearing for Traffic Ticket

I received a citation for “weaving” in Las Animas county by a Colorado State Trooper. I completely forgot to pay it in the 40 day window and now have to appear in court tomorrow since I can’t pay it online any longer. I got the citation as I was moving out of state and won’t be able to make it to the hearing. What are my options? If I call the clerk of court, will they allow me to pay over the phone? My citation says it’s $112 total.

Water wells

I know that lots of folks outside of town haul water. Does anyone know the feasibility of drilling a well? How is the water quality? Any other insights? Thanks!

Wanting to move back to Colorado

My father passed and I had to move to GA to take care of my mom and the house, I’m assuming in about a year or two, the house should be good to go and if he ready to put my savings into buying a 20-40 acre trac, and I was looking at Trinidad as I used to drive through it all the time when I lived there and I absolutely loved it. I want to homestead, mainly focus on feeding me and the 3 other families that will eventually be moving onto the property, as well as selling at local farmers markets or setting up a CSA (basically you pre order food and get deliveries for x amount of weeks).

I also wanted to set up a performance shop, if that isn’t realistic then probably a dealership type deal (do restorations and flip them, custom builds that we keep for rentals, as well as a race team as pikes peak has been a dream of mine to compete in my own shops name on). I wanted to do either hunting grounds (most properties I find have a lot of small/medium game and decent large), or set up a grass strip and some hangers so people have a place to store their planes and have a licensed mechanic maintain them at a break even cost (the area I’m looking for is about 15-30 minutes outside of Trinidad so noise pollution isn’t too big of an issue).

I’m a disabled vet and I’m honestly just trying to set up a strong enough economy for my guys and my family to be financially stable and be able to have a vacation every now and then (not all at the same time, but get time away with our families). Would this be a welcomed addition to the local area or should I look somewhere else in Colorado?

Hey R/trinidadco

I'll be in your lovely city this weekend, and I'm hoping to find some great local experiences. Can anyone recommend any bars or venues with live music happening this Saturday night? I love a good live band, or a great place for drinks and food? All three would be amazing.

I appreciate any recommendations you can provide, and I'm looking forward to exploring your beautiful city this weekend. Thanks in advance! 🎶🍔🍻

Shout out to Tarantula Bikes

Thanks to Joe and Dave at Tarantula bikes, such great guys with an awesome business. Two of us have been staying in Trinidad for a few days and getting in some gravel biking. Both of us had a couple of issues and one of the bikes is an unusual adaptive mountain bike. Not at all phased out by a bike they had never come cross before, repairs were made and we were able to continue riding and enjoying our time in Trinidad.

Paranormal Trinidad?

I'm doing research into the Trinidad area and it's history of paranormal activity. I am looking for real experiences from the residents of Trinidad and the surrounding areas. My team and I will be in the area filming on Saturday, April 29th and would love to hear stories from locals that would be willing to share their stories either anonymously or on camera. Please message me if you have some stories of your own or of the area. Thank you!

What dog friendly activities are there in Trinidad?

We will be in Trinidad for a little while and need to get our dog some more exercise. The city dog park never seems to have any other dogs at it, and we don't always have time for hikes. Are there any other activities that we don't know about?

Dispersed camping/ car camping along I25

We are going to traveling through on I25 and heading to Denver. Is there anywhere from Raton to Colorado City to pull off, hang up our hammocks and sleep for a few hours? We don't need anything other then trees and hopefully not a lot of noise. It will be dark when we get there so easy to find would be nice. I don't mind paying for a camp spot if it is easy and not expensive.

Interesting Hikes, Restaurants, Things to do?

Hello! My partner and I will be staying in an Airbnb there in Trinidad from June 17th-June 20th.

Was wondering what all we can do there. We want to do out door activites, hikes, see the views, eat at places that aren't chain restaurants. Do you all recommend anything?

Visiting Colorado soon, need advice

Hi! I have been wanting to actually see beautiful Colorado my entire life, and I will finally be making the trip (by car) to experience it. I will need some friendly advice about a few things. I will be visiting for at least a month, maybe longer.

What places have safe and legal spots where I could park to sleep at night? How dog-friendly are most areas?

Also, if all works out, I would make plans to become a resident of Colorado (including finding employment, getting car and DL switched over, etc.). I have panic disorder, and some (so far relatively mild) physical issues. Are there any places in Colorado where someone like me might do better and maybe have better luck getting started?
