27th Annual Monte Vista Crane
Festival
Late in February, sandhill cranes, the San Luis
Valley’s oldest visitors, begin their annual trek from south
to north, stopping off around the Monte Vista National
Wildlife Refuge to load up on fuel. For millions of years,
the sandhill cranes have been spending their "Spring Break"
in Colorado’s Valley of the Cranes and more recently,
wildlife watchers have been drawn to wonder at this
phenomenal natural spectacle. Crane watchers come from
far and wide for the Monte Vista Crane Festival.
The festival attracts photographers, artists, bird
watchers and other nature lovers with bus tours of the
refuge each day, including sunrise and sunset visits, and
workshops at the Monte Vista Middle School March 13.
