Alamosa and the surrounding San Luis Valley together offer visitors an array of things to see and do both inside and out, from railroad excursions to scenic and culturally authentic day trips to galleries, museums and more. Select an area below to explore the possibilities!

 

From long, straight, echoing highways to undulating, ribbony canyon roads to breathtaking mountain passes, our region's highways, byways and back roads captivate RVers and road trippers from across North America every year. Whether you've come in search of historic treasures, scenic vistas or just a leisurely drive through the high country - our Scenic Byways have something to inspire just about everyone.

There's so much to do! Spring, Summer, & Fall Fun and Recreation compels you to swim, walk, fish, hunt, bird watch, camp, golf, bike, hike, boat or just laze under the cool sunshine.

The San Luis Valley offers 4-seasons of recreation. Winter Recreation is not to be missed and draws people from all over the country. Our blue skies and deep powder make our surrounding mountains a winter wonderland. Two major downhill ski and snowboard areas and miles of backcountry skiing provide plenty of variation. Perhaps indoor swimming or ice climbing is your style.
