Pike's Stockade

Pike’s Stockade is a historic site in the San Luis Valley, seventeen miles southeast of Alamosa on the Conejos River. It is a reconstruction of a log fortress built by United States soldiers on the Zebulon Pike Expedition in January 1807. The replica stockade was first built in 1952 and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1961. History Colorado has administered the site for nearly a century and today it is maintained by the staff at Fort Garland Museum & Cultural Center.

The Stockade is an unstaffed historic site with lots to explore. In addition to the log fortress, the site offers educational panels, walking paths, restrooms, and picnic areas.
