Wet Mountain Valley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wet Mountain Valley is a high elevation mountain valley located in Custer County in south-central Colorado. The towns in the valley are Westcliffe and Silver Cliff, which are at an elevation of just under 8,000 feet. The area is known for its historical ranches and excellent hay production and it is nestled beneath the rugged Sangre de Cristo Mountains that parallel the Wet Mountain Valley on the west. The valley is drained by Grape Creek which begins in the south of Custer County near Music Pass and flows North into Deweese Reservoir from there it enters a narrow gorge before reaching the Arkansas River
