This one is for the grandparent who wants the grandkids to know what dark looks like. Five acres on Longmont Avenue outside Blanca, Colorado. Bring the telescope, or just a blanket. With no city anywhere near, the Milky Way shows up on its own, and the kids will talk about it for years. By day the Sangre de Cristos and Blanca Peak fill the view, and Great Sand Dunes National Park is an easy day trip to the north. We tell everyone the same thing: this valley is beautiful and it is tough. Dry air, wind, cold nights. It is not for everybody. But a campfire, a sky full of stars and a few acres that belong to your family is a pretty good inheritance. The details: 5 acres, 25990 Longmont Ave, Costilla County, Colorado. APN 70386190.
