9600 Stories - Highest Elevation Bookstore
Known For
Highest bookstore in the US with curation that matches the altitude
At over 9,600 feet, this bright and airy bookstore earns its superlative honestly — exposed brick walls line shelves stocked with titles that feel hand-selected rather than algorithmically arranged. A local favorite for good reason, it's the altitude excuse you needed to buy another book.
🕐Best time to visit: slow midweek mornings when browsing feels genuinely unhurried
Our Take
Being the highest-elevation bookstore in the country is a genuine distinction, and the hand-written shelf notes here signal a staff that reads with real taste rather than just stacking bestsellers. It's a charming stop that earns extra points for the altitude novelty and the indie bookshop sincerity underneath it.
