Alpine is a small community, sometimes considered a ghost town, in Chaffee County, Colorado, United States.

Then in the 1950s and 1960s people rediscovered the quiet beauty of Chalk Creek gulch and built summer homes.

The San Isabel National Forest completely surrounds Alpine and St. Elmo and prevents more extensive development.

St. Elmo remains a local tourist attraction as a ghost town with a part-time general store and some year-round residents.
