San Luis Valley Voices
Summary: The San Luis Valley is an 8,100 square mile high alpine desert region in south central Colorado. Nestled between two distinct mountain ranges, this vast area is home to farmers, ranchers, entrepreneurs, multi-generational families, business owners and more. It abounds in year-round outdoor recreational activities of many types and is the headwaters area of the mighty Rio Grande River. The Valley as it’s known to locals is home to 6 entire counties and 3 partial counties, with more than 20 towns of various size. SLVoices is “Your Voice in the San Luis Valley” in south central Colorado. We create informational and entertaining podcasts by interviewing local people from local attractions, businesses, organizations and city governments. This helps spread the word about new and exciting endeavors from smaller local artists, craftsmen, and entrepreneurs who are helping to revitalize diminishing downtown areas in the various towns of this area. By doing this we are helping to create opportunities, jobs, and economic growth in some of the most historic and charming towns in the San Luis Valley.
