Villa Grove is located in the far northern San Luis Valley
with nearly perfect views of the northern Sangre De Cristo mountain range to the east.
The population, as of the 2000 U.S. Census, was a mere 40 people, but the one main rest stop,
gas station and restaurant are worthy of a stop on Highway 285.
This is the view looking northbound on Highway 285 towards Poncha Pass. (I must confess that my obsolete digital camera provided poor picture quality.)
