Welcome to Alamosa County.
Communities: Alamosa, Hooper
Set your course for Alamosa, Colorado, and gear up for the fun that awaits you in every direction. Whether you choose to scale the Great Sand Dunes, or bask in a soothing hot spring, you'll find year-round adventure under clear, sunny skies. Make Alamosa your base camp for exploring the San Luis Valley and its surrounding mountain ranges. Centrally located in the world's highest and largest Alpine valley, Alamosa offers plentiful lodging, dining, and shopping options.
Start each day in Alamosa--breakfast burritos are a local specialty -- and plan an excursion that suits your mood. Perhaps a relaxing museum tour one day, an adrenalin-pumping mountain bike ride the next. Whether you stay the night, or a week, there will always be more to do on your next visit to Alamosa. Our history is rich and diverse; our wilderness, pristine; and our people, welcoming.
Founded on the Rio Grande in 1878, Alamosa boomed with the expansion of the Denver & Rio Grande Railway in the early 20th century. Still the heart of a rich agricultural area, Alamosa offers all the amenities and intimacy of a small community's downtown. You'll find cafes and restaurants, art galleries, antique and gift stores, crafts, books, clothing and more. It's a short walk from downtown restaurants to Cole Park and the River Path, where you might stroll after dinner along the placid Rio Grande under towering cottonwood trees. The same trails are also favored by bicyclists, as well as the amateur and world-class runners who train in Alamosa.
