What to Do in Alamosa, Colorado

While many of our guests visit the Alamosa KOA Journey for the Great Sand Dunes National Park, there are plenty of things to do in the San Luis Valley. Known as the “gateway to outdoor adventures,” Southern Colorado has enough trails, fishing holes, wildlife refuges, and historical and cultural sites to keep your schedule packed year-round!

• Wildlife Viewing: Whether you're hiking one of the valley's eleven 14ers, visiting a cultural site, or taking a scenic drive, there are ample opportunities to spot wildlife throughout the valley.
  
• Museums and Cultural Sites: All you history buffs and curious minds - don't worry, the San Luis Valley is steeped in history. Historical sites include San Luis, the oldest town in Colorado; Fort Garland Museum; Creede's Underground Mining Museum; and Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish, Colorado's oldest church.
  
• Hiking/Biking: The SLV is home to hundreds of hiking and biking trails, offering scenic views for guests of all skill levels. Don't forget to check out Alamosa's river walks, the Rio Grande Trail, and Blanca Vista Park Trails.
  
• Hot Springs: Relax after a long day of adventures in one of the valley's natural hot springs and soaking pools. Splashland and Sand Dunes Recreation provide a family-friendly atmosphere, while Orient Land Trust (formerly known as Valley View Hot Springs) and Joyful Journey Hot Springs offer a quiet, adult retreat.
  
• Scenic Drives: If a quiet “Sunday drive” is more your speed, then buckle up! We recommend the Silver Thread, Enchanted Circle, and Los Caminos Antiguos Scenic Byways, depending on the amount of time you have.
  
• Train Rides: The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad promises breathtaking views and fun for the entire family. It truly is the best way to see Colorado's rugged landscape and geologic diversity.
  
• Colorado Alligator Farm: This sanctuary is home to a variety of exotic animals, including iguanas, pythons, tortoises, caimans, alligators, and crocodiles. Their goal is to provide a safe space for families to learn about the challenges of owning an exotic pet.
