Almont, CO

SMALL-TOWN COLORADO AT ITS BEST

Almont is located between Gunnison and Crested Butte, where the tumbling waters of the Taylor and East River meet to form the Gunnison River.


Originally named Fishers for the first settler in the area, the town was renamed in 1881 to Almont, after a famous racehorse of the day. In mining times, ore from area camps was brought to Almont to be transported via rail to Gunnison.


Today the town is popular with fishermen and rafters. Featuring ranch resorts, riverside cabins, campsites and rafting outfitters, Almont caters to visitors who appreciate a quieter, simpler vacation. The little town also serves as a great launching point for canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding, four-wheel driving and mountain biking.
