Greetings all!
New to the site as I discovered it while doing some research into potential rock hounding areas. I'm going to be in the Alamosa area for a couple days next week and wondered if anyone had some advice as to where there might be some decent to good places to search. I won't be able to do any digging as I'll probably only have a small rock hammer with me. So I'm pretty well going to be looking for stuff on the surface. I've already found lots of good info here, hope to get some more! Thanks everyone! Mike |

Trip was great! Not much luck finding anything, but the hiking was fantastic!
I did find what might be a couple of geodes, a quartz crystal, and a couple of other rocks that I just thought looked interesting. May try and polish them and see what happens. Luckily I didn't see any snakes, although I did hear one start rattling. Decided a quick U-turn was the best bet at that point! Thanks again for the advice! |
