It simply cannot be said that there is nothing to do in Monte Vista! The Chamber is just one of many organizations hosting events for its guests and citizens. Whether your interests are sporting or cultural, the chamber members host a variety of  events on a monthly basis. This means that no matter what time of year you visit Monte Vista, you will always find fun and stimulating activities for you and your family

Whether you are going east to the Great Sand Dunes National Park, south to San Luis to see the Stations of the Cross, ride the Cumbres & Toltec Train, north to climb Penitente or west to Wolf Creek Skiing and the Creede Mining District, Monte Vista is an hour from every activity in the San Luis Valley, If you are feeling venturesome, Monte Vista  is one hour from Salida, two and half hours from Durango, ninety minutes from Taos and three hours from Santa Fe.
