Our Location

New feature:

Adams State College is located in Alamosa, Colorado, a city of 10,000 people. Situated in the San Luis Valley, a valley the size of the state of Connecticut located in south central Colorado, the campus is surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Sangre de Cristo and San Juan mountain ranges. With towering peaks of over 14,300 feet, the mountains provide a variety of winter and summer sports and account for the brisk winter nights and sun-filled days for which the Valley is known. A sense of history and adventure unique to the Southwest creates an environment conducive to both academic and social growth.


Alamosa is serviced by United Express and bus service. Denver is 220 miles to the north, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, is 200 miles to the south. Within a two-hour drive are five ski areas and such historic towns as Taos, Santa Fe, and Creede. For more in-depth information about our community, visit Alamosa.org, sponsored by the Alamosa Tourism Development Board.


When you arrive in Alamosa, we are prominently located on the west end of town. A printable campus map is located below for your convenience.
