Alpine Visitor Center, National Park Service visitor center in Larimer County, US.

The Alpine Visitor Center sits at Fall River Pass and features exhibits exploring the tundra ecosystem and alpine environment. The facility includes restrooms and a gift shop operated by the Rocky Mountain Conservancy.

Built in 1964 at the junction of Fall River Road and Trail Ridge Road, the building is too recent to count among the contributing properties of the Fall River Entrance Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 29 January 1988. It is recorded there as a noncontributing property.

Rangers at the center give orientation talks and interpretive programs on the alpine tundra, explaining how plants and animals survive above 3,500 meters. The building also houses exhibits on that ecosystem and a gift shop run by the Rocky Mountain Conservancy, the park's non-profit partner.

The center operates from late May through mid-October, with hours from 9 AM to 5 PM adjusted for seasonal weather. Visitors should prepare for the high elevation and understand that operations may close unexpectedly due to mountain weather conditions.

This facility stands at roughly 3,600 meters elevation, making it the highest visitor center in the entire US National Park System. The extreme altitude makes it a distinctive destination for those wanting to experience high-alpine conditions firsthand.
