Summary edit

Description The Sangre de Cristo ('Blood of Christ') Mountains were named for the reddish light that sometimes illuminates them at sunset. When the sun's angle is low across the vast San Luis Valley, atmospheric haze bends light waves toward the red spectrum, causing a crimson glow on the massive dunes and snow-capped peaks.
