This unique experience was built to allow visitors and locals alike to try something new and experience Alamosa differently and showcase several different ways to indulge in green chile!
The Trail re-launched with new items and locations to try! Along the way, you will eat, and drink your way through some common dishes, like the classic bowl of green Chili found at Juanitos Mexican Restaurant as well as some unique items like the Valle Caliente Green Chile Lager at San Luis Valley Brewing Company or the Mexican Chicken Fried Steak smothered in Green Chili from Lindo Jalisco! Excite your taste buds with the flavor of an assortment of green chile dishes as you go!
Now that we have your attention, you may be wondering, “how do I get started?!”
Trail cards can be found at each listed location or are available at First Fridays Headquarters during the event! As you visit each location and purchase the trail item, present your card to earn a sticker for that location. Once you have filled out your trail card, bring it to First Fridays or message the First Fridays with Visit Alamosa Facebook page to arrange a pickup time! Redeem the card for a limited edition Green Chili Trail mug along with a few green chile recipes to take home with you! Is this your second time taking on the Green Chili Trail? AMAZING! Second time trail wimmers will get a mug, a new set of recipe cards, and gift cards to some of the participating locations!
