The discovery of gold and silver in 1870 fueled the mining rush to the San Luis Valley. In 1878, a passenger train stopped at a bed in the Rio Grande. It was then that Alamosa was founded. (read more below...)
Winter recreation is not to be missed either. Blue skies and deep powder make the surrounding mountains a winter wonderland. Natural wonders such as Zapata Falls and the Sand Dunes Hot Springs Pool draw visitors and locals alike. For those looking for a less-exerting vacation, Alamosa has many shops and boutiques to visit and many fine restaurants to enjoy. The waterpark at the Inn of the Rio Grande is a fun destination for the whole family. Take a trip to the Colorado Gator Reptile Park and see over 400 alligators soaking in natural hot springs water. Discover what you have been missing!
