The Setting
Costilla County sits in the broad bowl of the San Luis Valley, ringed by some of Colorado’s highest peaks. Mt. Blanca — a fourteener — rises to the north and east. Great Sand Dunes National Park, where North America’s tallest dunes meet 14,000-foot mountains, is roughly an hour away. Zapata Falls, a scenic slot canyon waterfall in the Sangre de Cristo range, is another area highlight. The valley is quiet, lightly developed, and offers long sight lines in every direction.
