Weather conditions in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains vary greatly based on
altitude and time of year. The sharp mountain ridge catches winds blowing across
the flat regions on either side and can produce tremendous winds. Make sure
to check local weather conditions and wear layers of clothing when venturing
into the Sangre de Cristo range.
The below information is for Salida on the northern end of the Sagre de Cristo
range. The mountains tend to be colder than this data suggests.
