I keep thinking (especially with the 2005 PGA Championship finishing up today after a weather delay) that a really creative golf resort and spa along the Los Pinos or Conejos would help Antonito. Just think:
Ride the Rio Grande into the San Luis Valley! Enjoy 18 holes on the world class 'Palmer at Los Pinos' golf course, relax in our world class spa, and enjoy a magnificent evening of dining and dancing at the Lava Loop Inn. After a rejuvenating night of high-desert sleep, greet your personal fishing guide for a day of world class native trout fishing just steps from your suite. End your stay with a spectacular ride on the Rio Grande's Moonlighter through the San Juans to historic Chama, New Mexico.
This summer bring your clubs and ride the Rio Grande into luxury!
Most people can't tell East from West anyway, so who'd know if the tour bus dropped them at Chama and the train backtracked to Antonito to drop them at the magnificent new Palmer Resort
