Alamosa
In 1878, Spanish settlers founded the small town of Alamosa in the largest alpine valley in the world, the San Luis Valley, lying at 7,500 feet above sea level. The primary source of employment in the area includes agriculture, retail, government, and education. While the population of 9,000 may not sound large, the Community offers much more than you might expect with two colleges and bountiful activities.
