The gateway to City of Rocks National Reserve, with a historic general store, granite domes on the horizon, and night skies with almost no light to wash them out.
Local Character
Local character
Almo draws climbers, stargazers, and people who want real quiet. The general store is the social center, the climbing is a short drive, and the nearest supermarket is a long one. It rewards visitors and residents who like it that way.

Housing Notes
Homes and property
