The San Luis Valley is full of natural wonders. The people here are very proud and do not want to see the Valley destroyed by commercialism. One of the wonders of the Valley is the wildlife. Everything from coyotes, mountain lions, bears, deer, elk, antelope, numerous varieties of birds and fish, and wild horses and burro.
