The site is located in the San Luis Valley along the east side of the Rio Grande approximately {{convert|8|mi}} southeast of Alamosa primarily in southeastern Alamosa County, although very small parts extend into northeastern Conejos and western Costilla counties. It is managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service jointly with the Baca and Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuges. It was established in 1962 as a haven for migratory birds and other wildlife. The site consists of wet meadows, river oxbows and riparian corridor primarily within the flood plain of the Rio Grande, and dry uplands vegetated with greasewood and saltbush. These areas support songbirds, water birds, raptors, mule deer, beaver and coyotes. Water from the Rio Grande is supplemented by water from the Closed Basin Project. The site includes a visitor center and two-mile roundtrip hiking trail. It is considered to be more wild and less intensely managed than the nearby Monte Vista refuge.[2] References1. ^{{cite gnis|192809|Alamosa National Wildlife Refuge|August 12, 2012}} {{Protected Areas of Colorado}}{{National Wildlife Refuges of the United States}}{{Colorado-protected-area-stub}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.fws.gov/alamosa/ |title=Alamosa/Monte Vista/Baca National Wildlife Refuge Complex |publisher=U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service |accessdate=August 12, 2012}} 10 : Protected areas of Alamosa County, Colorado|Protected areas of Conejos County, Colorado|Protected areas of Costilla County, Colorado|National Wildlife Refuges in Colorado|Protected areas established in 1962|Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area|Wetlands of Colorado|Landforms of Alamosa County, Colorado|Landforms of Conejos County, Colorado|Landforms of Costilla County, Colorado |
