There is one observation of Calochortus nuttallii in the Watershed, photographed 5 June 2019 about 2.7 air miles E of Trujillo Meadow Reservoir in Conejos Co, at about 9,880' elevation (iNaturalist observation 26530853). In Colorado the normal range of Nuttall's mariposa lily covers the western border counties, with an extension through Archuleta Co. BONAP shows the species following the Rio Grande drainage halfway down New Mexico. So a location just east of Cumbres Pass is not unreasonable. The USA distribution centers on Montana, Wyoming, eastern Nevada, Utah, western Colorado, Arizona, and northern New Mexico.
