Dispersed Camping Under Blanca Peak

Entrance to BLM land at Lake Como Road with Blanca Peak in the background - Fall 2025. 

Rain followed us through the windy San Luis Valley. We camped free in BLM land under the fourth highest summit of Colorado: Blanca Peak (also the highest in the Sangre de Cristo Range with 14,351 feet - 4,374 meters). The peak was hidden by clouds most of these days. This mountain is sacred for the Navajo. They called it “Sisnaajiní” (means “Dawn” or “White Shell Mountain”).
