Nestled high in the Sangre de Cristo mountains this
Shangri-La of ancient culture has an atmosphere of bygone
centuries. Here in pioneer days much of the colorful his-
tory of the Southwest was made -- and here age old Indian
and Spanish customs still prevail.
The home of Kit Carson, famous hero of the Old West,
is just a few doors off the Plaza.
