Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Alamosa's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.

Museum-quality cotton paper

Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.

Solid wood framing or glossy metal

Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

San Luis Valley Regional/Bergman Field Runway Diagram Print

San Luis Valley Regional Airport works a single runway, and the print is built around that one line: 2/20, 8,521 by 100 feet of asphalt, laid across the sheet as a long diagonal running southwest to northeast. Field elevation is 7,540 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 9E, so the plotted heading sits well off true north. A parallel taxiway runs the length of the strip on its northwest side and rejoins it at a handful of connectors, and that second line is what keeps the composition from reading as a single bare stroke.

The field was conceived in 1939, construction began the same year, and it opened in early 1941. It is named for Carl A. Bergman, a local businessman who lived from 1908 to 1988 and was an early backer of the project, which is why the published name carries Bergman Field alongside San Luis Valley Regional. Monarch flew the first airline flights here with DC-3s in 1946 and 1947, and Monarch's successor Frontier began service in 1982 with Convair 580s. The airport is two miles south of Alamosa in Alamosa County, Colorado, owned by the City and County of Alamosa, and covers 1,700 acres.

Traffic is modest and the diagram shows it. In the year ending January 31, 2018 the field recorded 8,403 aircraft operations, an average of 23 a day, and it has no control tower. The April 2022 to March 2023 passenger figures put Denver as the busiest route out of ALS, at roughly 9,000 passengers. On the sheet, the apron, terminal and hangar rows gather near the northeast end of the runway while the rest of the pavement runs away clean to the southwest, which leaves most of the frame to open ground. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, taxiway and apron edges are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose, and the result is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions, printed to order rather than held in stock.

Alamosa (ALS) print, common questions

How many runways does San Luis Valley Regional Airport have?

One. Runway 2/20 is 8,521 by 100 feet, surfaced in asphalt, and it carries the whole print as a single long diagonal with its parallel taxiway alongside.

How long is the runway at ALS, and how high is the field?

Runway 2/20 is 8,521 feet long. Field elevation is 7,540 feet above sea level, one of the higher figures you will see on a print like this, and it is set in the margin.

What does ALS stand for, and where is the airport?

ALS is the IATA code for San Luis Valley Regional Airport, also called Bergman Field, two miles south of Alamosa in Alamosa County, Colorado, at roughly 37.44 north, 105.87 west.

Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?

Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures for the field, and the taxiway and apron geometry is drawn from the airport's published layout. It is original wall art, not a chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, including minor taxiway markings, signage and small structures, and it is not for navigation.

What sizes are available, and does it work as a gift?

It comes in several sizes and finishes, made to order, on the ground tone you pick at checkout. It reads well for anyone who has flown into the San Luis Valley, trained out of a high field, or grew up around Alamosa.
