The Rock carvings at Alta, dating from circa 4200 BC to 500 BC, are on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. In additon, the Komsa culture was named after the Komsa mountain in Alta municipality, where the first archeological remains were discovered. In World War II, the German battleship Tirpitz used Altafjord as a harbor, and was damaged here by attacking allied warplanes. Altasaken in 1979 made headlines for weeks, as many people (especially environmentalists) demonstrated and used civil disobedience to prevent the building of a dam in order to produce hydropower. The dam was built, however, and the river still offers good salmon fishing. Just a few miles from the Idaho border, Alta is located west of the Teton Mountain Range. This small quaint town is made up of a few B&Bs, a library, and a church. What makes Alta so special to Wyoming is the fine powder snow that falls annually averaging 500 inches.
