Travel Updates

Our top priority is and has always been the safety of our guests and visitors. We are continuing to monitor COVID-19 developments from local and state officials and will remain engaged with new guidance and regulations as they arrive. At this time, Alamosa County is currently meeting all of Colorado’s Dial Framework objectives and as a result, has no public health orders or travel restrictions in place. We’ll continue to provide relevant updates to this page as things continue to evolve.

Please use the information listed below to assure a safe but fun visit to the Majestic San Luis Valley and Alamosa.

Face-Coverings 

As of July 28, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its mask guidance for those who are vaccinated against COVID-19 in the wake of a significant surge of the Delta variant among unvaccinated Americans. This guidance recommends that fully vaccinated individuals wear masks indoors in places with high or substantial COVID-19 transmission rates. In addition, the agency is recommending universal mask wearing for all teachers, staff, and students of K-12 schools even if fully vaccinated, citing a need to return to school this summer/fall. The decision comes ahead of a potential spike in cases this fall due to the Delta variant.  Unvaccinated individuals who are 2 years of age and older are still recommended to wear a mask in public when around others.
