Discover Alamosa

Alamosa, located in Colorado’s San Luis Valley, is a crossroads where nature, western history, railroading and culture intersect.

Discover our natural wonders. Explore the shifting sands of time, literally, at Great Sand Dunes National Park, the tallest dunes in North America, covering 30 square miles! Soak in our hot springs pools and hike to the spectacular Zapata Falls, a half-mile walk with panoramic views of Alamosa, the Great Sand Dunes and the San Luis Valley.

Discover our past. Climb aboard for the journey of a lifetime. From the beginning in 1877, Alamosa has been a train town. Ride the rails on either the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad or the Cumbres & Toltec Railroad. We’ll transport you through Colorado’s most scenic and remote territory.

Discover our heritage. Surround yourself with culture, indoors and out, classic and unexpected. Our nationally acclaimed Creede Repertory Theatre is an award-winning professional theatre company that will entertain you with plays, musicals and concerts. Farther afield, the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area encompasses 3,000 square miles, three counties, three wildlife refuges and one national park, all waiting to be discovered by you. At the end of the day, our diverse lodging options will keep you comfortable; while our dining choices encourage you experience the flavors of the region, including our authentic Mexican specialties.
