Summary[edit]

Description

NPS/Patrick Myers

Over 20,000 sandhill cranes spend their spring and fall in the San Luis Valley, feeding in grasslands and farm fields during the day, then returning to wetlands each evening to roost at night.

Blanca Peak is located just south of Great Sand Dunes, one of four sacred mountains to the Navajo (Dine') people. A video about this connection is available on our History and Culture page:
