Almo , Idaho is a beautiful place to visit. The first thing many visitors notice is the old
west feel of the town. Many of the homes were built by the great grandparents of the
ranchers who live there now. Also, there are cows and horses in almost every field, with
barbwire and wooden post fences graphing the high desert landscape. Another charming
part of Almo is Tracy’s General Store which opened in 1894. It is still in the same brick
building , providing residents with groceries, tools and barbed wire. Finally, Almo is famous
for its City of Rocks. The City of Rocks Park Reserve provides a surreal arena for rock climbers
and historians. The California pioneer trail cut through the valley long ago leaving evidence of
wagon wheel ruts cut into the granite and names painted in axel grease. Now, instead of
thousands of pioneers passing through on their way to a new adventure, the area hosts
thousands of climbers from around the world wanting to scale its granite cliffs and towers.
Please highlight the first word of the
claim sentence in the paragraph.
