My favorite Colorado March Thing

My favorite Colorado March thing:

Get up at 3 am and drive to the Wet Mountain Valley. Get there in time to see sunrise on the Sangre de Cristo mountains.

In 1719, Spanish explorer and governor of New Mexico (which was then part of New Spain - the border between Spanish and Anglo America runs along the Arkansas river, 40 miles south of us) saw the mountains at dawn and named them "Blood of Christ" mountains.

One of the most beautiful places on earth.

We could stop and have breakfast and a latte in Westcliffe. Sound good?
