The original narrow gauge roadbed over Veta Pass was utilized for the alignment of US Highway 160 until the mid-1960's when the current route over North La Veta Pass was constructed. US 160 was a gravel road for many years, but was eventually paved. Today, the paving is slowly returning to gravel, but it is still a road negotiable by most any vehicle.
