About this listen

Tucked between the Sangre de Cristos and the San Juans, Colorado’s San Luis Valley is more than just a scenic drive—it’s a vital hub for agriculture, wetlands, and water conservation. In this recast episode, we revisit Haley's conversation with Rio de la Vista, a longtime conservationist and water expert, to unpack why this unique region matters not only to Colorado, but to the entire West. From community-led water solutions to cultural heritage and ecological gems, this conversation dives into the Valley’s challenges and triumphs—and why it just might be a model for the future.
