united states

Alma sits over 10,500 feet high in Colorado's South Park valley, making it America's highest incorporated town. Highway 9 connects it to Denver via Highway 285 (80 miles) and to Breckenridge over Hoosier Pass (23 miles). The thin mountain air and surrounding fourteeners create dramatic high-alpine scenery year-round. Alma's post office operates as the highest in the United States.
