Sanchez Reservoir State Wildlife Area
In southern Colorado below San Luis, the Sanchez Reservoir State Wildlife Area (SWA) is a protected area of Costilla County centered around the 1,462 acre Sanchez Reservoir. During the summer, the Sanchez Reservoir SWA is a popular spot for anglers, as public access is restricted to fishing-use only. It is used daily as a watering hole for herds of wild mustangs
Mount Lindsey
Less than 40 miles away, Mount Lindsey and its surrounding terrain boasts some of Colorado’s most dramatic scenery. The Huerfano Valley is worth a visit even if climbing is not in your plans. Anybody whose ever been to this trailhead knows this is one of Colorado’s finest spots for photography. Blanca and Ellingwood Peak’s northeast face absolutely dominates the skyline. It is quite a spectacular place to be.
Notes
Wild Horse Mesa (also known as San Pedro Mesa) covers about 75 square miles, a few miles south of San Luis, near New Mexico. The mesa area is home to about 150 wild horses (mustangs), broken into 9 bands, roaming on private lands. They are descendants of horses used by Spanish explorers (conquistadors), brought to America in the 1500’s. Spaniards began bringing horses and cattle to North America starting in 1493, after Columbus landed in 1492. Spanish explorer Vazquez de Coronado visited this region, crossing northern New Mexico, looking for the Seven Cities of Gold in his expedition of 1540-1542
