wELCOME
Thank you for considering Alamosa, Colorado for your next
adventure!
Discover Alamosa and all it has to offer from the Great Sand
Dunes National Park and Preserve to the Rio Grande Scenic

meet under a star- studded night sky. Recreational opportunities
are unlimited and the exhilaration of climbing the Great Sand
Dunes is unmatched.
Located in the center of the San Luis Valley, Alamosa is

the San Juan and Sangre de Cristo Mountain ranges, the rivers
and lakes teeming with trout, the crisp fall mornings, and bluest
skies west of the Mississippi.

and compelling. Wander through historic Fort Garland, the Luther

Explore the tallest sand dunes in North America. A visit to
the Great Sand Dunes is an unforgettable experience. The
vast, sloping dunes overwhelm the landscape with their stark
beauty. The area is a geologic cornucopia of grasslands, wetlands,
conifer and aspen forests, alpine lakes and tundra. Often called the
the base of the dunes in the spring, warm and inviting. Build a sand
marvel at the experience of climbing the many peaks of the dune
and jump back down.
For variety in your adventure, walk the shady trails in the trees
or climb one of the six peaks over 13,000 feet, hiking along an
alpine lake. There is a challenging 4WD road up and over the top,
too. Whatever your pleasure, the Great Sand Dunes is a diverse
The park offers incredible opportunities for photography, especially
in the evening when the shadows are long and the temperatures
are cool.

Loop 1 (44 sites) of the campground is open year round; one
restroom is winterized. Most campsites have a capacity of six
people, two tents, and two vehicles (including towed vehicles/

primitive camping along the Medano Pass Road.
SAnDBOARDInG
For years, visitors have been sledding down the dunes in plastic
toboggans, rounded saucers, and even cardboard. As most
visitors soon found out, the saucers and cardboard did not work
at all. Adventuresome and creative people soon developed boards
from vegetated areas. The park does not rent or sell sandboards,
but they can be rented at Kristi Mountain Sports, 719-589- 9759.

you might catch alligators sunning themselves on the snow. The

throughout the winter, and the farm got a lot more than they
bargained for. Plants started popping up everywhere. Employees
decided to harness this growing power and planted everything
from radishes to cattails. It has become a tropical rainforest right
here in the San Luis Valley!
The falls were formed when South Zapata
Creek wore a groove in the crystalline rocks
of the Sangre de Cristos, allowing its water
to spill onto the soft alluvial soils below. Over
millennia, the creek has carved a dim, deep
and narrow chasm through which water
tumbles some 30 feet. In the summer, the
falls offer a cool respite; winter temperatures
turn them into a giant ice sculpture.
A new trailhead in the campground supplies
a link to the South Zapata Creek Trail # 852,
and the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness. A
second trail, North Fork South Zapata Trail #
868, just above the campground in the dayuse area, leads visitors on a mildly steep
half-mile hike to the falls. Day use picnic
areas and restrooms are available.
The Zapata Campground sits at 9,000 feet at
the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It
offers sweeping views of the San Luis Valley,
the San Juan Mountains and nearby Great
Sand Dunes National Park—plus spectacular
sunrises, sunsets and night skies.
The Campground has 23 single campsites,
one group site and one camp host site
spaced around two, one-mile-long loops.

Snowmobiling
The San Juan Mountain Range to the west and the south

other snowmobiles. About 40 minutes south of Alamosa in

Snowmobiling in the Rio Grande National Forest is
breathtaking at just under 10,000 feet elevation. Annual
snowfall is approximately 465 inches.

trails that meander through towering pine trees, and stark
aspen forests. There are several great spots for tubing in
this area too!
Trails and directions can be found on the Rio Grande National
Forest website.
Cross Country Skiing & Snow
Shoeing

system is about 4.3 miles round trip.
Another popular area to cross-country ski and snowshoe is
southwest of Monte Vista on Hwy 285 about 2.3 miles. At the Rock

Downtown walking Tour
Historic brick and stone buildings anchor downtown as
a reminder of the boom the town experienced in the early
20th century as the railroad brought
commerce to Alamosa. From brick,
to pressed metal ornamentation and
glazed colored tile, Alamosa is a study
in the architectural trends that have
passed through the nation since the
19th century.
This list is by no means a complete representation of all the
architectural wonders Alamosa has to offer. But, take a mini
walking tour of the buildings below, or stop by the Colorado
Welcome Center at 610 State Avenue to pick up a complete

steam locomotive built in 1883 by Baldwin Locomotive Works. It
could haul 11 cars at 71 miles an hour!
Built for the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad (D&RG) to meet the
need for additional and larger engines to haul passenger trains,
it was part of an order of 12 locomotives and is one of the oldest
surviving locomotives of the D&RG Railroad.
The 169 was removed from service in 1938 and was stored on a
dead line at the Alamosa rail yard. It was taken out of storage in
run to make. In 1941, the 169 came to rest at Cole Park, a gift to
the city from the railroad.

HISTORY & HERITAGE
Sangre de Cristo national
Heritage Area
The Sangre de Cristo region can be described as a historic
crossroad - a place where different people have converged for
thousands of years. The area represents a profound historical,
food, events, and celebrations. Here the traditions of Hispanos,
Native American, Mormon, Amish, Japanese-American, Dutch, and
Anglo have intermingled and persisted. Land grants, railroads,
mines, and military presence entwined cultures and customs.
Main streets lined with murals, historic adobe churches, and
authentic cuisine all represent the unique Hispano stamp of the
San Luis Valley.
Railroads and mines were integral economic activities in the late
nineteenth century after the United States government acquired
control of the San Luis Valley from Mexico. Precious metals, gold
and silver found in isolated pockets in the Sangre de Cristo and
San Juan Mountains attracted prospectors. With miners came
railroads, farms, and cattle ranches.
