Outdoor Adventures
Great Sand Dunes State Park
Sink into the highest mountains of sand in North America. Nestled in a spot where the Sangre de Cristo Mountains buckle inward, the dunes within the borders of Great Sand Dunes National Park have been building and sifting for eons — the result of the San Luis Valley’s unique wind patterns.
Lathrop State Park
Colorado’s first state park, Lathrop State Park, is 1,594 acres of recreational enjoyment nestled in the shadow of the Spanish Peaks in Southern Colorado. The park’s two lakes offer a variety of boating and angling opportunities for all types of water recreation.
Taos Ski Valley
Right up the mountains North of Taos is the Taos Ski Valley. If you’re looking for a nice Winter getaway, look no further than the Taos Ski Valley. With resort style amenities and slopes for you to bullet down on a snowboard or pair of skis, there’s a good time up here for everyone.
Taos Pueblo

The only living Native American community designated both a World Heritage Site by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and a National Historic Landmark is Taos Pueblo.
