The Road to Hoosier Pass
A Town You Don't Want to Miss That would be Alma, the highest incorporated burg (10,353 feet) in the United States. (Scorn the claims of neighboring Leadville, a full 200 feet lower.) A refuge for free spirits and fringe characters of varied description, Alma made headlines a few years back when its beloved mayor, Willie Morrison, was murdered by a disgruntled neighbor, Tom Leask. It seems Tom had gone a bit stir-crazy. Over the previous year, he had dismantled his home with a hammer and used the wood to heat a tepee he'd pitched in his backyard. On the day he shot Willie, he also commandeered the town's front-end loader and ran roughshod through the post office, town hall and water plant. Don't worry, though. Alma's other 251 residents are delightful. Alma's Only Bar: (719)836-2286. - C.B.
