Fort Garland

Fort Garland combines an expansive high-valley setting with a tangible frontier-era legacy in a way that reflects its position in Colorado's San Luis Valley beneath the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The community grew beside Fort Garland, a U.S. Army post established in 1858 and later commanded by Kit Carson; its surviving adobe buildings now form a state historic site. Dry grasslands and high mountain slopes give this southern Colorado settlement a distinctly inland character.
