Trinidad Colorado: Weed Town, USA

Trinidad has a rich history of adventure, tragedy, and conflict, and is home to countless Wild West stories featuring names like Al Capone. But by the 1940s, the once up-and-coming town built by the coal industry was largely left in decline and disrepair.

Today, Trinidad is experiencing a new kind of boom thanks to the marijuana industry. Marijuana has brought back the economy and tourism to Trinidad so much so that in 2018 High Times magazine dubbed it “Weed Town, USA”.  

Fishers Peak State Park

The Native Roots Marijuana Dispensary is less than two miles from the new Fishers Peak State Park. Fishers Peak is among the most iconic landmarks in Southern Colorado and until recently it was only available to the property’s owners and their guests. 

Now, the $25.45 million, 30-square mile property is the 42nd state park in the state owned by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed the executive order affirming the new Fishers State Park in 2019, only two years after the initial idea for the project began. 

The project began In 2017 when local philanthropist Jay Cimino contacted Phil Rico, Mayor of Trinidad, who personally knew the former Fishers Peak property owner. After Cimino and Rico’s group toured the property, confirming it was indeed available to purchase, the Trinidad City Council approved the idea. 

Mayor Rico connected two well-known non-profit groups involved in land conservation and public parks, The Trust For Public Land and The Nature Conservancy, to help ignite the project, purchasing it from the original property owners. Colorado Parks and Wildlife purchased the property just one year later in 2020 and formally approved Fishers Peak State Park as the name of the new park.
