Hi All! My wife and I just moved to Fort Garland in the San Luis Valley. We enjoyed rockhounding back east in North Carolina and Tennessee. Are there are good rockhounding locations in or around the San Luis Valley? We enjoy all gems and minerals.
Thanks! Scott |

Hi Scott, I too am a NC transport. I live on the Western Slope now. I think there are some good areas around hwy 114. I know you can find Appachee tears near Cochepetta dome. And I think there are some good geode spots closer to you. There is gold in the sand dunes but you can't prospect there. Parlin pegmatite is a good spot to find some cool stuff. Lots of other areas near Salida too.
