 The rainbow ends here
It's a small piece of land-- a house, barn, fences, and fiber room--camouflaged in the juniper and oaks of the mesa. Valley Winds takes us on a journey back in time to a way of living where less is more, where quality is measured in color and touch.  The simplicity of raising animals, the creativity of spinning fine yarn, the open air and winds of nature all bring us here to Valley Winds.  Where serenity is arrived at in the rightness of the moment, where a good laugh means more than a good meal, and where everyone has a say:  a bark, a mew, a hum.

West Spanish Peak
 Valley Winds' county road leading to the protected wilderness area of West Spanish Peak. Huajatolla, the Ute name for the Spanish Peaks, means "breasts of the earth". This fertile  valley has nurtured human and animal alike for centuries and remains a serene treasure for today's changing world.
Alpacas and llamas have their genetic roots in country like this.  It was in the high plains of the Andes that native peoples domesticated these members of the camel family -- seeking a warm fiber for clothing.  The alpaca is the distant cousin of the still wild vicuna.  The llama, a historically worthy beast of burden, was domesticated from the sturdy guanaco and is presently being selectively bred to produce lustrous, silky fiber.
