Just Imagine…a day in the San Luis Valley enjoying Colorado’s cool sunshine, where you can spend the morning taking photographs of waterfowl at the Wildlife Refuge or experience a Gator Farm or Bison Ranch, with an afternoon full of heart-pounding hikes & biking, 4 wheel drive trails, and river rafting. You aren’t done yet…Some of the best fly fishing in the world can be found here on the Rio Grande River, along with camping, horseback riding, bicycling, rock and ice climbing, hunting, skiing, and snowmobiling. Not to mention scenery that can’t be beat. Rio Grande County is your perfect Base Camp for all these activities and much more.
