The Great Sand Dunes sit directly west of the Sangre de Cristo Range, which is featured in the background. The San Luis Valley (IPA: /saːn luː'i 'vɒli/) is a very extensive alpine valley (approximately 8,000 square miles, with an elevation of about 7500 feet above sea level) in the Rio Grande Basin of south-central Colorado and an adjacent region of New Mexico in the United States. The valley is drained to the south by the Rio Grande River which rises in the San Juan Mountains to the west of the valley and flows south into New Mexico. The valley is approximately 122 miles (196 km) long and 74 miles (119 km) wide, extending from the Continental Divide on the northwest side into New Mexico on the south, and sits atop the Rio Grande Rift.

 Typical greasewood "chico brush" in the Closed Basin of the northern San Luis Valley in Colorado. Taken just south of the bridge over La Garita Creek on Highway 17 between Hooper and Moffat, Colorado. View is to the southeast. The Great Sand Dunes are in the background as are the Sangre De Cristo Mountains. Mosca Pass is the low point, Mount Blanca the peak on the right. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains form the eastern border of the valley. Blanca Peak is prominent at the southern end of the northernmost section of the mountains, which is known as the Sangre de Cristo Range. There are several passes, with elevations between 9,000 and 10,000 feet (2,700 and 3,000 m), giving access to the valley. La Veta pass, through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, is used by US Highway 160 and by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad (D. & R. G.) tracks. Other passes used historically were Medano, Mosca and Sangre de Cristo Passes. Otto Mears was the engineering genius behind the construction of a railroad link that ran from the Arkansas River, over Poncha Pass (at the north end of the valley), and into the San Luis Valley.

History The San Luis Valley was long part of the lands of the numerous and powerful Ute Indians. The Valley was the first portion of Colorado to be settled by people of European descent: the first Spanish land grant in the area was made in 1742, but farmers and ranchers from northern New Mexico may have homesteaded as early as the middle 1600s. The area was administered as part of the Spanish, later Mexican, province of Nuevo Mexico until the area was purchased by the United States as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. Extensive settlement began in the Valley, again primarily by Hispanic farmers and ranchers from New Mexico in the 1850s. The history of the post-war US military presence in the Valley is preserved at Fort Garland and other sites in the Valley, which became part of the Territory of Colorado in 1861. Today, the Valley has the largest native Hispanic population in Colorado; many families are directly descended from the original New Mexican settlers. The original Ute population was confined to the Southern Ute and Ute Mountain Indian reservations in the late 1800s. Ute may refer to: The Ute, a tribe of Native Americans of the Uto-Aztecan language family. ...

Land ownership and management About 50% of the 2,000,000 acres (8,000 km²) in the San Luis Valley is privately owned. Much of the land in the Valley floor itself was originally part of large Spanish and Mexican land grants.
500,000 acres (2,000 km²) on the borders of the valley (generally adjacent to National Forest Lands) are managed by the Bureau of Land Management, BLM, a division of the United States Department of the Interior. This land is usually leased to neighboring ranches for grazing for a nominal fee. Part of the value of a ranch is its continuing lease of BLM or National Forest lands.

Large areas of private lands have either been subdivided into subdivisions of small "ranch" lots or have been sold or donated to the Federal government and make up portions of the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, other wildlife preserves, and various state wildlife sites.
Agriculture and wildlife Agriculture in the San Luis Valley is generally concentrated around the Colorado towns of Alamosa, Monte Vista and Center. Principal crops include potatoes, head lettuce and beer barley. Less favored areas with a shorter growing season and less access to water rights tend to be devoted to alfalfa and grazing. Broad areas, especially in Saguache County, Colorado have a high water table or are even flooded part of the year. Uncultivated land is often covered with "chico", low brush such as rabbitbrush, greasewood and other woody species. Cropland is typically irrigated with large (1/4-mile diameter) circular-pivot irrigation systems, and a common feature of the Rio Grande Delta area where the Rio Grande enters the valley are large piles of potato-sized rocks screened from the soil.

The area supports a wide variety of wildlife. Sandhill cranes migrate through the valley every spring and fall. The Monte Vista Crane Festival takes place in March, centering on the wildlife refuge located six miles south of town. Occasionally, a whooping crane can be spotted among the thoudsands of grey sandhills. The valley is a flyway for many migrating birds including avocets, bald eagles, gold finches, and a plethora of hawk varieties.
Artistic community There are over 300 known artists living in the San Luis Valley as evidenced by an onging directory maintained by Monte Vista artists' group, [1] The Art Thing. The Art Thing's membership boasts several nationally recognised artists working in various media.
Economy Predominantly agricultural in nature, the area is also one of the poorest rural areas of Colorado, and is a net exporter of its children. Tourism has become a more important part of the economy in recent years, coupled with attempts to establish the area as a retirement community. Adams State College, a government-run four-year college at Alamosa, with approximately 2,500 resident students, is the major educational institution in the Valley. San Luis Valley Regional Medical Center, a full service Acute-Care hospital and specialty physician clinic is the largest employer in the Valley with over 600 employees.

The "Mysterious" Valley In 1996 paranormal researcher Chris O'Brien published a bestselling book, The Mysterious Valley. O'Brien, who lives in the San Luis Valley, wrote about about the numerous strange events he had investigated in the valley. According to O'Brien, UFO sightings, Bigfoot sightings, cattle mutilations, weird noises and apparations, and unusual military activity all occurred in the San Luis Valley on a frequent basis. O'Brien went on to publish two more books about the paranormal activities in the valley. In 1997 O'Brien and the San Luis Valley were prominently featured on the TBS television documentary Searching for UFOs. However, skeptics have charged that the San Luis Valley has no more unusual happenings or stories than any other region, and that people such as O'Brien have used and exaggerated "tall tales" from locals to publish books of dubious merit. // Paranormal is an umbrella term used to describe a wide variety of reported anomalous phenomena. ...
