Great capture Bob, makes me want to go and visit. You mentioned the reservoir is on the westside of the Continental Divide. Are they pumping the water via a tunnel to Denver? Do you know the operators of the reservoir? I heard a group of Canadian lawyers were trying to buy the waterrights to the Baca Float north of Monte Vista and transport the water to Denver. That would leave the ranchers in the San Louis Valley (I think) high and dry. In any case a beautiful scene!
