Alma

The upper South Platte River defines the setting of Alma — a high valley below the Mosquito Range where settlement and road travel follow the watercourse. At more than 10,000 feet above sea level, Alma is widely known as North America's highest incorporated town, a status reflected in its long winters and compact scale. Founded in 1873 during Colorado's mining boom, the town grew around hard-rock mining, a heritage that remains central to its identity. Colorado State Highway 9 climbs south from Alma toward Hoosier Pass on the Continental Divide.
