Photo 1 - Alamosa Travel Blanca is located in the San Luis Valley and Antelope Ranch is situated at the base of Mt. Blanca, one of the few 14'ers in the state of Colorado. Its also has notarity as the 4th highest peak in the state. The property is an authentic log home that was built by hand. It is a two story home that is approximately 1200 square feet with 2 full bedrooms and beautiful rustic charm. It is located on five acres and has a simple fence wood around the perimeter of the home. A 2007 issue of Sunset Magazine called the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve "Colorado's best kept secret". We agree. There is plenty of sandy desert in Arizona and California, but nothing quite like the Great Sand Dunes of Colorado. Seeming totally out of place at the edge of the snow-covered Rocky Mountains, these dunes of pure golden sand cover an area about 7 by 5 miles and reach heights of 700 feet above the floor of the flat San Luis Valley, making them the tallest dunes in the USA. The valley, which is over 7,500 feet in elevation at this point, extends for over 100 miles south into New Mexico and is bordered by the San Juan Mountains to the west and the lower Sangre de Cristo range to the east, hills which mark the edge of the Rockies and continue southwards towards Santa Fe. Enjoy our professionally decorated Blanca Mountain home, complete with top of the line amenities throughout - tile floors and countertops; beautiful western rugs; original artwork; tile bathrooms and very comfortable bedding. This house is literally among the finest in all of the area and is located at the base of the most secluded and desirable area within the community, the "Blanca Mastiff" - it is nothing short of magical!! Just walk out of your vacation home and you feel immersed in all of the beauty and grandeur of the Mountains. The cabin sits on a five acre ranch parcel that will make you feel right at home in a hand crafted log home with beautiful finishes, lovely views out of every window, completely furnished with suede couches, leather chairs and a beautiful eat in kitchen that seats 6 comfortably. Experience it all in an area that has so much to see and do. Antelope Ranch is one mile from the entrance to the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. The dunes and surrounding mountains are designated wilderness; this is a great place to enjoy unspoiled natural beauty in a variety of ways. The SLV, as the natives call it, is south of Pueblo and west of Walsenberg, Colorado. This amazing valley is host to some of the most break taking views, mountain vistas and mountain ranges in the state. After leaving Walsenberg you will pass the Cuchara Valley, LaVeta Pass and the Highway of Legends. The Scenic Highway of Legends starts at the cities of Trinidad, Aguilar and Walsenburg and circles the Spanish Peaks. To many Native Americans, Mt. Blanca is sacred ground. At 14,345 feet . Mt. Blanca watches over the sunny community that shares its name. Blanca sits just west of the preserved Fort Garland, once commanded by famed frontiersman Kit Carson. In Winter the valley becomes a ski paradise. One hour to Taos, NM you will find some of the country's best ski opportunities. If you prefer a more family focused ski resort, Wolf Creek Ski Area is the place for you. Quaint, affordable and 40 minutes from the cabin, you are in for a real treat! In Spring, not to be missed are the Zapata Falls, where the Sangre de Cristo snowmelt cleaves area rock. Whether you play in Medano Creek, build a sand castle, slide down the dunes, go bird watching in wetlands, or ascend a 13,000' peak, you will discover plenty of kinds of outdoor recreation for all ages. Just 20 minutes from Alamosa, Colorado. Alamosa, the sits in the center of the San Luis Valley and is surrounded by the majestic Sangre de Cristo and San Juan mountains. Nestled along the Rio Grande River, at about 7,500', the city where the southwest meets the Rockies boasts 360 days of sunshine.
