Climbing Mountain Peaks
Climbing Mountain Peaks
While ascending 14,000-foot mountains is a rite of passage in Alamosa, conquering a 13,000-foot hike can be equally rewarding. In this expansive valley, setting your sights on 13,000-foot peaks across the Sangre de Cristo Range means enjoying open trails and lightening your footprint as you meet the challenge. And if scaling higher elevations isn't your thing, you can still enjoy plenty of shorter, friendlier trails in the area—views still included.
