US 350 is not only a short US highway, but probably one of the most desolate. I&#8217;m honestly not sure why it&#8217;s a U.S. Route. I guess Trinidad and La Junta both used to be minor rail hubs, and this road does parallel a railroad track, but I doubt it&#8217;s made sense as a U.S. Route since 1950 or so.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corcohighways.org\/highways\/co\/350\/160to71\/10.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Location<\/strong>: US-350 and CR 88, Delhi, Las Animas Cty<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Just before we enter the Comanche Grassland and Otero County, we&#8217;ll approach the field of Delhi<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corcohighways.org\/highways\/co\/350\/160to71\/11.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Location<\/strong>: US-350 and CR 17, Timpas, Otero Cty<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A few miles after we enter the Comanche National Grassland, which is largely non-contiguous reclaimed farmland, we&#8217;ll approach the town of Timpas, which is a bit larger than the other buildings with place names along this route.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corcohighways.org\/highways\/co\/350\/160to71\/12.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Location<\/strong>: US-350 and SH-71, Otero Cty<br \/>\nSeveral miles later, we&#8217;ll approach SH-71.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corcohighways.org\/highways\/co\/350\/160to71\/13.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Location<\/strong>: US-350 and SH-71, Otero Cty<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">No sign at the turn, but this is what it looks like.
