The San Luis Valley, CO Café and Campground

La Garita has been owned by Jerry and Bonnie Nusbaum for the last 10 years. La Garita, meaning "The Lookout," was founded as Carnero Plaza. A variety of settlers have left their mark on the town since the mid 1800s. La Garita's population never recovered after the flu epidemic of 1918 killed nearly half the town's residents. A visit to the old plaza and its one remaining business, La Garita Store, feels like a visit to the earlier era.
