January 2008 - Great Sand Dunes and Water Rights

Attendance at the Great Sand Dunes is on the Rise

The Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve experienced a 10% increase in attendance from 2006 to 2007. A total of 285,591 people came to the park to climb the dunes and watch the wildlife. Located northeast of Del Norte and South Fork, the Great Sand Dunes are the tallest sand dunes in North America at 750 feet. They were formed by sand and sediment that geologists believe were left over from a large lake that covered the San Luis Valley. There are 2 creeks that still flow through the Great Sand Dunes, depositing small amounts of sediment that add to the dunes.

Water Rights at the Ranches

The Rio Grande Valley is known for having plenty of water; not from the skies, but from the ground. The water in the streams, rivers, ditches and aquifers are the lifeblood of the local agricultural industry. Our ranches offer surface water rights to a select group of lots; the rest of the properties have water access through wells. Here is a brief summary of the water rights:

South Fork River Ranches - Tracts 1-4, 7, 8, 13, 16 and the Main Ranch

Pronghorn Ranch – Tracts 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 45 and 48

Some of our best water rights are available on the Main Ranch at South Fork River Ranches and Tracts 45 & 48 at Pronghorn Ranch, both of which have over 1,300 feet of frontage on San Francisco Creek.
