Stargaze....Literally Anywhere......
Stargazing in Alamosa is an unbeatable experience. There are so many areas to explore but we recommend these three in particular:
Alamosa National Wildlife Refuge
Open spaces, very few to no people after the sun sets, and nothing but a blanket of stars overhead to keep you warm, this secluded location is the perfect place to park and take in endless miles of night sky views.
Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve
Named an international Dark Sky Park, you will not find a more pristine view of the stars than you will at the Great Sand Dunes. Nothing quite compares to rolling dune fields snuggled up against snow capped mountains completely engulfed in starry night sky. Lose yourself in the moment as you rest on a blanket under the shimmering galaxy with your sweetheart.
Blanca Vista Park
Take a walk around Blanca Vista Park under the stars for the perfect end to a romantic evening! Located just outside of Downtown, it is conveniently located without sacrificing any of the night sky views. There is seating in the area or you can bring a blanket and sit at the edge of the lake and take in the surrounding beauty! If your outing feels incomplete without your four legged friend, they can tag along to play in the dog park and share the love with the ones they love most!
Alamosa is full of romantic and intimate experiences to be shared this Valentines day or any romantic getaway! Need more recommendations? We are here for you!
From our team at Visit Alamosa, we hope you enjoy sharing the love in our beautiful destination this year!
