Welcome to Alamosa!
Alamosa (Spanish word for cottonwood grove,) sits in the center of the San Luis Valley, nestled against
the magnificent Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range on both the south and east sides. To the north and west, the La Garita and
Conejos-Brazos mountain range tower above the valley. The valley is approximately 125 miles long and over 65 miles wide,
and is certainly one of the most picturesque places in Colorado!
Nestled along the Rio Grande River, at about 7,500', the city boasts 360 days of sunshine. Alamosa is
in Alamosa county, and 87 miles SW of Pueblo Colorado (center to center) and 110 miles SW of Colorado
Springs. There are approximately 8,562 residents in the city.
