About Wild Horse Mesa
Wild Horse Mesa sits about 12 miles south of San Luis in Costilla County, zip code 81152, within Colorado's San Luis Valley. This high-desert valley stretches roughly 150 miles long and 75 miles wide, framed by the San Juan, La Garita, and Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges.
Also known as San Pedro Mesa, the area covers about 75 square miles near the New Mexico border and is home to around 150 wild horses roaming in nine bands across private land. These mustangs trace their roots back to horses brought to North America by Spanish explorers in the 1500S, with early expeditions passing through the region in the 1540S.
Disconnect off-grid and enjoy quiet days, wildlife sightings, and star-filled nights. A simple place to slow down and reset after the week.
