Outdoor Activities

ENDLESS RECREATION

Alamosa and the surrounding San Luis Valley together offer visitors an array of things to see and do from railroad excursions to scenic hiking, or even a dip in a hot springs pool. Perched up high at 7,543′ above sea-level, “the valley” where Alamosa is situated, spans 8,000 square miles surrounded by a ring of mountainous terrain. Diverse landscapes and scenic wonders offer a unique yet excellent venue for outdoor enthusiasts, history buffs, and wildlife aficionados.

Don’t let our winter recreation opportunities pass you by! Our blue skies and deep powder make our surrounding mountains a winter wonderland. Backcountry skiing, hiking, ice climbing, and snowmobiling are favored activities once the flakes start to fall.

Swim, walk, fish, hunt, bird watch, camp, golf, bike, hike, boat, or just laze under the cool sunshine.  Select an adventure below to explore the possibilities.
