Beautiful Sunsets

Spectacular Sunset over the Sangres

One of the natural events that I enjoy most about living in the Wet Mountain Valley is viewing the glorious sunsets.  Almost every evening, as the sun slowly sinks over Gibbs Peak (or Eagle Peak depending on the time of year), the colors reflected in the clouds from the vanishing light of the sun are truly magnificent.   Pictures hardly capture the richness of the yellows and blues; or the deep tones of the reds and oranges.  Many people visit this valley for the outdoor hiking, fishing and horseback riding activities….but all it takes is one look at the sunset to convince one to settle quietly into the natural rhythms of the valley.  I’ve seen the sunset from Key West and sunrises over the Atlantic Ocean from Maine to Florida.  But nothing is better than the sunsets over the Sangre De Cristo mountains.  If you have ever considered owning a piece of heaven on earth, come and visit us at the Ranch and see these sunsets for yourself.   Sip a glass of wine
