The San Luis Closed Basin between Hooper and Moffat, with the Sangre de Cristo Range.
The San Luis Closed Basin is a 2,940-square-mile (7,600 km2) endorheic basin in the Alamosa and Saguache counties of south-central Colorado. It includes San Luis Creek and its tributary, Saguache Creek. While the basin is east of the majority of the Rocky Mountains, it lies west of the Sangre de Cristo Range. An elevated plateau in Alamosa County, the San Luis Hills, separates the San Luis Closed Basin drainage from most of the San Luis Valley, which is southward-flowing and drains through the Rio Grande.[1]
