The U.F.O. Watchtower In Hooper, Colorado - Lookout For U.F.O. Activity In The San Luis Valley

The San Luis Valley U.F.O. Watchtower

(A Visit With Photos of a U.F.O. Lookout Area in Southern Colorado) - April 3, 2007

	U.F.O.'s! I had just visited Zapata Falls near the Great Sand Dunes National Park and was driving north of Hooper when I felt quite compelled to check out San Luis Valley's very own U.F.O. Watchtower and Information Center! :)
	You can't miss it: The U.F.O. Watchtower is just north of the small town of Hooper on Highway 17 and you'll see many creative signs like this one. ;)
	I really love the alien at the entrance (left) and the funky alien with red eyes that directed me to the parking lot. Interestingly, on this sunny and warm April day, I was the only person there that afternoon!
	I climbed up to the watchtower level and sort of posed as if I was looking up to the sky. I'm telling you, whether you believe in U.F.O.'s or not, I have a feeling the clear views of the stars would be amazing at night out there. Also, the views of the mountains, particularly of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains, aren't too shabby either. ;)
	I should note that the topic of U.F.O.'s have been covered on this web site before: U.F.O.'s in Manitou Springs.
	There is a really endearing "healing garden" made up of items that most would consider junk. Yet as a whole, this was a really special place. I loved it! :)
	What a great photo! My other pages from the San Luis Valley: Villa Grove Bonanza (2006) Bonanza (2003) Saguache Great Sand Dunes (Star Dune) Century Ride: Buena Vista To Sand Dunes Zapata Falls Hayden Pass Cabin
