SUPPORT THE PROGRAMS AND EFFORTS OF
LOS CAMINOS ANTIGUOS SCENIC AND HISTORIC BYWAY

Los Caminos Antiguos has 4 ongoing program areas in Alamosa, Conejos and Costilla counties of the San Luis Valley:

- Cultural and Historical Interpretation

- LCA Merchants Association
- Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area designation effort

Los Caminos Antiguos Mission Statement – Our mission as a regional partnership is to interpret, facilitate community development, and market the products of the cultural and historic traditions, natural resources, and diverse communities of the Byway.

Our Vision for Los Caminos Antiguos –
Through the telling and retelling of the traditional stories, we will assist in the preservation and protection of the cultural diversity of the region. We will participate in historical research, restoration and preservation efforts in partnership with local communities and agencies. We will utilize the scenic and historic byway as a vehicle for sustainable community economic development, focusing our attentions first on those communities most in need of assistance. We will work to protect the open spaces and view shed integrity along the byway.

In partnership with the many land managers in the region, we will work at linking the cultural-historical tourism markets and products to those of the existing recreation market. We will assist in developing a regional tourism and recreational infrastructure, and create further recreational opportunities to better meet the needs of visitors, merchants, and residents alike. We will utilize the byway as a regional marketing tool, and will coordinate interpretive efforts among partners sharing the byway corridor. In addition, we will work to preserve the rural quality of life. This includes valuing smallness, but not sameness; maintaining the integrity and self-determination of our local communities; protection of the land, water and biodiversity of the ecosystem; and preservation of our many folkways or "ways of life".
