A Hidden Gem of Cowboy Art! Arthur Roy Mitchell painted iconic western scenes featuring cowboys, horses, cattle and vast beautiful landscapes that captured the hearts and minds of pulp western readers from the 1930's to today. The largest collection of his work is proudly displayed at the A.R. Mitchell Museum of Western Art, in downtown Trinidad, Colorado. Plan a visit to view this beautiful collection and we hope you'll become a member and support our efforts to keep his art alive and on display for generations to come.

If you are fortunate enough to be in Trinidad when this museum is open, it is A MUST SEE!!! A.R. Mitchell gave his entire collection of his remaining art works to this museum in Trinidad!! While walking through the exhibits, I realized that I had seen some of his magazine covers but did not know that he had created them! His paintings of panoramic scenes in Colorado are spectacular!!! If a docent is available to share background information on Mitchell and his works, it will certainly enhance the visit!!!

Trinidad Lake is absolutely gorgeous. I never would’ve thought I’d end up loving Trinidad so much. However, this is part of the state that’s as good as any other. It’s just one of those areas that people have overlooked for a long time. To be honest I didn't want to write a review so we could keep this beautiful place to ourselves but hopefully this will help someone who is considering visiting the park. Take my word for it - it's a HIDDEN GEM! I was shocked that we haven't heard of this place before as my husband and I are frequent visitors of Colorado state. The views at Trinidad Lake are absolutely spectacular! A must see! You always hear about Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Breckenridge, etc. but in our experience these places are indeed beautiful but packed full of people and tourists and have lost a sense of charm. Trinidad is a beautiful little mountain town that has tons of charm and hasn't been ruined by the crowds of people. The town has absolutely everything you would want/need when visiting Colorado and more. My husband and I were the only ones at the lake when we visited!! The park would be great for mountain biking, hiking, and if I lived in this area I would be at this lake all the time. We have found our new vacation spot.

I rolled into town August 2017, not meaning to stay, and bought property here. The arrangement also has a bird (canary) in a cage.
