While Colorado is considered one of (if not the) most beautiful states in the country, it might also be the most fun. Costilla County and the surrounding area is a playground of natural wonders. From wetlands and grasslands, to lakes and aspen forests. Hike, rock climb, explore canyons or just observe the abundant wildlife. Fly fishing is perhaps the most popular pastime and the rivers provide an outstanding habitat for fish, including large trout. The peaks of the area’s most iconic natural feature – Mt. Blanca – loom large over the county and it is the 4th highest mountain in Colorado (14,345 feet at its peak).

The actual “fort” Fort Garland is named for was abandoned in 1883, but it’s now a museum and part of Colorado’s living history. Visitors can see the fort’s parade grounds and adobe buildings and experience some local Hispanic folk art. Other nearby attractions include the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, the Shrine of the Stations of the Cross in San Luis and the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad.

Costilla County is an area dotted with quaint towns and friendly local communities, including Fort Garland and San Luis (Colorado’s oldest town). The small towns throughout the county are interesting places to explore, and you can pick up some excellent local arts and crafts, like leatherwork and handmade jewelry.

Long term camping is cool too, but with restrictions. The property is easy access by dirt roads and with no power lines nearby, power by solar, wind or generator may be your easiest option.
