The Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge can be found in the San Luis Valley. It provides a necessary feeding and breeding habitat for local flora and fauna including wildlife and over 200 species of birds. Some of the wildlife you’ll come across the wetlands and uplands include unusual and rare amphibian species such as the Plains spadefoot toad and the northern leopard frog. As you explore your surroundings, you’ll be able to see stunning views of three mountain ranges - the San Juan, the Saguache, and the Sangre de Christo. Popular visitor activities in the area are hiking and viewing the interpretive panels along the way, wildlife viewing, nature photography, and restricted hunting.
