Almont begins where the Taylor and East Rivers merge to create the Gunnison, giving this small community outsized access to water, wildlife, and mountain views. Guides launch rafts and anglers step into classic freestone runs right in town, while the broad waters of Taylor Park Reservoir sit a scenic drive away. Miles of trails in the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests unfurl from the valley, and nearby Curecanti National Recreation Area opens the door to boating on Blue Mesa Reservoir and canyon hikes. For trip ideas and seasonal events, the regional tourism office at Gunnison-Crested Butte keeps an up-to-date calendar.
Everyday needs and cultural life are close by in Gunnison, with more dining, arts, and gear shops in Crested Butte; both are part of Gunnison County. Winter brings world-class skiing and summer lift-served biking at Crested Butte Mountain Resort. Families are served by the well-regarded Gunnison Watershed School District, and higher education, concerts, and athletics center on Western Colorado University. Getting around the valley is simple thanks to the free Gunnison Valley RTA.
Housing in Almont ranges from riverside cabins and fishing retreats to year-round homes tucked among aspens. Whether you’re buying a getaway or selling a legacy property, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a proven local real estate professional who knows the market and the lifestyle.
