Valley View Summer Rates are now in effect through September 30th.  Adults day visits are $13, overnight stays are $26 plus lodging (if any). See Rate Information page for complete details and lodging prices.

The swimming pool is drained and cleaned every Wednesday morning. Important Note: The pool is usually refilled by late afternoon in the summer and fall but may take until early evening during the spring due to lower seasonal water flow.

Learn more about Land Conservation. See here for a good overview of land trusts, conservation easements, tax credits, and how Orient Land Trust works with land owners to preserve open space and agricultural land here in the San Luis Valley.

New Date for "Party Weekend" The annual OLT Member Appreciation Weekend has been rescheduled to August 15th-17th. The August full moon is on Saturday night the 16th, so this will give us maximum moonlight to dance the night away! (Reservations are required and can be made up to 3 months in advance depending on your OLT membership level.)
