Alva Claire was a farming community located in the mountains of southwest Colorado. The community sits on the beautiful Colorado River with the beautiful Colorado Mountains in the background. The town began as a log cabin community but it was soon developed into what is now known as Alva Claire. Today, the economy in the area is primarily based upon tourism and because of this the population has declined over the years. Today the population is only about fifty-five percent of its original size.
