This location provides front row seats to the winter and year-round grazing to one of the largest Elk herds in North America, the second largest elk population is in northern NM an southern CO - between the Sangre de Cristo's and the San Juan Mountain range to the west. This location becomes the center of the universe under a Full Moon, when it illuminates the peaks, the river below, and the reservoir. It is the thrill of a lifetime to see the Elk herd swimming and frolicking in the river under a Full Moon,, This area may well be the location of the historic military encampment called 'Camp Corkscrew' which predates Fort Garland. The original cartographer survey map from New Mexico territory depicted the peaks in their current location as well as the creek and noted the 20-mile distance to Amalia peak NM to the south.
