Visitors to Alpine are greeted by a captivating view of a small high country community set in the lush plains of the San Francisco River headwater. Surrounding Alpine are spectacular and sweeping slopes of mountains covered with vast stands of pine, fir, and aspen.
Alpine, which was settled in the late 1870's, was originally known as Bush Valley. Today, the "Swiss-like" setting of Alpine continues to enrich the lives of residents and visitors alike.
