Colorado’s Arkansas River region, which derives its name from the mighty river that spans its thirteen counties, boasts a vast expanse of fertile plains that underpin a strong tradition of family farming and ranching. Historical and cultural highlights of the region include the first American settlement, Bent’s Old Fort, as well as a national scenic and historic byway that retraces the path of the storied Santa Fe Trail.
