Contrary to the picture..at an elevation of approximately 10,578 feet, it is the second highest incorporated municipality in the United States. Alma, which took the title from Leadville, Colorado, was in the number one spot until 2006 when Winter Park, Colorado, became the highest incorporated town when it annexed a ski area. Alma still has the highest developed municipality in the United States as Winter Park's claim to be the highest is due to their annexation of the ski area above the town and at the elevations above Alma's elevation the only development is ski lifts.
