The mysterious San Luis Valley, part I

January 10, 1996

If someone told you there was a single geographic region with indigenous legends telling of doorways used by star people piloting flying seed-pods, hundreds of UFO sightings, the first publicized unusual animal death case, waves of cattle “mutilations,” bigfoot encounters, “alien abductions,” rumors of secret underground bases and the world’s most unusual sand-dune desert, would you believe them? And if they told you a large phantom fire was recently reported in this area to local sheriffs by N.O.R.A.D during a (still continuing) “UFO sighting flap,” or that it was a place where various localized spook lights lurk up the road from towns where a legendary devil makes occasional appearances, all within sight of privately owned 14,000-foot mountains, would you believe such a place existed?

The San Luis Valley in Colorado.Welcome to south-central Colorado and north-central New Mexico’s San Luis Valley.

Not well-known to the outside world, this roughly 150-mile-by-45-mile-wide wishbone-shaped area, running north to south, is considered to be the world’s largest alpine valley and may be one of America’s most anomalous regions. The semi-arid desert valley floor, perched at an elevation of 7,600 feet, averages less than 6 inches of rainfall a year and is completely ringed by majestic mountains, many of which are over 13,000 feet high. This mysterious valley is hidden from the outside world in many ways.

We are situated just a stone throw away (20 miles) from Alamosa, Colorado, the largest town in the San Luis Valley. This nice shopping town has all your needs from gear and ammo, shopping for the ladies, snacks, and even a dispensary! Also in range of our area is Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and those looking for a larger city, Denver. So many exciting places to explore!

Some views from Mt. Blanca

Blanca is the fourth highest mountain in Colorado. Only 88 feet separate it from the highest one. Part of the Rockies it makes for good recreation for hikers, bikers, photographers, and those who love the company in the solitude of nature.
