About Almont, Colorado
From the towering pines pressed into cragged hills to the babbling brooks, powerful rivers, and broad sweeps of countryside, there’s a cornucopia of glorious nature in this rural dreamland.
In the southern portion of Almont, the Taylor River and the East River converge to form the mighty waters of the Gunnison River. The surplus of waterways has established the town as a fishing paradise, as well as Gunnison County’s recreational hub for whitewater rafting. First platted in 1881, Almont is largely defined by its surrounding rivers and bucolic lifestyle and is unhindered by large tourism crowds or commercial corridors.
A history steeped in ranching and agriculture planted the charismatic, country roots of Gunnison and the surrounding landscapes. The wide open feel appeals to the adventurer and rancher alike, both drawn to its spellbinding landscape of table mesas, pine-blanketed mountains, and rushing rivers.
