The creek is fed by several tributaries, including Little Sangre de Cristo Creek and numerous unnamed streams. The stream flows vary seasonally with peak flows occurring in late spring due to snowmelt and summer monsoons. The hydrology of the creek is influenced by the surrounding geology, which includes volcanic and sedimentary rocks. There are no significant dams on the creek. Interestingly, the name "Sangre de Cristo" means "Blood of Christ" in Spanish, and is said to refer to the reddish color of the mountains at sunrise and sunset.
