	The Sangre de Cristo Mountains of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico
		The Sangre de Cristo Mountains are one of the longest mountain chains on Earth.
		The Sangre de Cristos are fault block mountains with major fault lines running along both the east and west sides of the mountains and, in places, cutting right through them.
		The San Luis Valley itself is a huge gravel pit full of eroded materials from the Sangres on the east and the San Juan Mountains on the west.

	Sangre de Cristo Range - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sangre de Cristo Range is a narrow mountain range of the Rocky Mountains running north and south along the east side of the Rio Grande Rift in southern Colorado in the United States.
		The mountains extend southeast from Poncha Pass for about 75 mi (120 km) through south-central Colorado, approximately 50 miles (80 km) west of Pueblo, and form a high ridge separating the San Luis Valley on the west from the watershed of the Arkansas River on the east.
		The Sangre de Cristos are fault-block mountains with major fault lines running along both the east and west sides of the mountains and, in places, cutting right through them.

	Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve
		The Sangre de Cristo range, on the eastern side of the Valley, is younger than the San Juan Mountains to the west.
		Sangre de Cristo sand is lighter in color and because these sand particles are made of white quartz, they may be more coarse than the other sand.
		Because the Sangre de Cristos consist of granitic-type rocks and metamorphic rocks, their sand is different from that of the San Juans.

	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.

	Introduction to Great Sand Dunes Geology - Geologic Wonders - Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve
		Bordering the valley on the east is the narrow, jagged spine of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, formed by a sharp uplift stretching from central Colorado to northern New Mexico.
		Mountain runoff transforms parts of the valley floor into verdant wetlands, especially in the northern half of the valley where surface waters flow into a closed basin, never naturally reaching either ocean.
		This large land basin, fed with water and sediments from the surrounding mountains, may be the primary source of sand in the dunes.

	Hiking: Sangre de Cristo Mountains - ALTREC.COM
		The mountains form an abrupt western border of the Great Plains on their east and the towering eastern edge of the Taos Plateau to the west.
		The Sangre de Cristo Mountains are a counterbalance to the Rio Grande Gorge which slices through the Taos Plateau.
		Mountain bikes, horses and hikers share many of the trails, except for those actually within Wilderness Area boundaries, which are restricted to foot and horse travel.

	SummitPost.org - Eureka Mountain Climbing Information
		The Sangre de Cristos are more rugged then their Sawatch bretheren to the north west and a distinct geology differentiates them from the San Juans to the west.
		Morraines, piles of material glaciers eroded from the surrounding mountains and dropped as a contoured wall of debris as the glacier receded from its last advance, choke many of the drainages of the Sangre de Cristos, requiring an ascent of a steep, loose hill on route to the upper basins.
		Eureka Mountain is in the heart of the narrow Sangre de Cristo Wilderness yet it can be easily accessed be the Hermit Pass Road The delightful traverse from the pass reminds is a very aesthetic way to climb the mountain.

	NMBGMR Memoir 48 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The Sangre de Cristo Mountains of south-central Colorado and north-central New Mexico are the physiographic expression of a southerly trending Cenozoic structural uplift that plunges gently south to die out in the Great Plains south of Santa Fe and Las Vegas, New Mexico.
		The uplift is bounded on the west by Neogene downfaulted and downwarped basins of the Rio Grande depression and, on the east, by broad Laramide basins that have sharply folded western limbs.
		Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian rocks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and adjacent areas in north-central New Mexico are heterogeneous marine and nonmarine deposits that accumulated in and on the flanks of structurally deep late Paleozoic basins that subsided between large uplifts of the Ancestral Rocky Mountains.

	Southern Rockies Geology
		Mountain ranges were uplifted as tilted crustal blocks bounded by thrust and reverse faults.
		Uplift of the mountain ranges culminated in the Eocene and was accompanied by subsidence of marginal basins--the Raton Basin, which were filled by great thicknesses of clastic sediment.
		Present elevation of the mountains is a consequence of late Cenozoic crustal uplift and deep stream erosion.

		The theory of private ownership of mountain lands is that the owner must maintain good stewardship of the land, which means respecting the rights of neighbors, protecting the wildlife and environment of the land.
		The practice of clear-cutting is catastrophic, resulting in erosion of precious mountain soil and causing all the precipitation to run-off as soon as it falls, leaving nothing to sustain the rivers into the late summer.
		The Sangre de Cristo Land Grant Commission was formed, headed by Ken Salazar, to negotiate the purchase of the Taylor Ranch.

		The mapped area includes the main central and western parts of the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains in north-central NM and a part of the Rio Grande depression to the west.
		Precambrian rocks, mostly exposed in the highest ridges as well as the deepest canyons of the mountains, consist of the older, metasedimentary Ortega Formation and the younger, chiefly metaigneous Vadito Formation, both intruded by the Embudo Granite.
		The Tererro Formation of Meramecian age unconformably overlies the older units in most areas and is divided into three members, in ascending order: the Macho Member of limestone-boulder conglomerate, the Manuelitas Member of light-gray limestone and limestone pseudobreccia, and the Cowles Member of silty, cross-bedded limestone.
