 Sangre de Cristo Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sangre de Cristo Mountains are a range of the Rocky Mountains located in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado in the United States.
The northern portion of the range, in Colorado, is sometimes identified as the Sangre de Cristo Range.
The name, Spanish for "blood of Christ", comes from the red color of the range at some sunrises and sunsets, especially when the mountains are covered with snow.
