Area Info
“Colorful Colorado” doesn’t begin to describe the natural beauty found in the Pikes Peak area. All of the communities in our area, including Woodland Park, Divide, and Florissant, have their own special "colors"! In spring and summer, wildflowers such as Colorado’s state flower, the Blue Columbine (upper left), may be found in profusion throughout Teller County.
Fall color draws tourists from all around to view the annual turning of the aspen leaves. This image is along Gold Camp Road which runs through several Teller County communities, including Divide and Cripple Creek. Your Colorado real estate - Woodland Park, Divide, Florissant - can include these views!
There’s even beautiful scenery during the winter as golden light falls across the icy streams near Divide, Florissant, and Woodland Park . . .
Garden of the God Park in Nearby Colorado Springs is a popular attraction. Here, the full moon sets over the "Kissing Camels" rock formation.
With a distinctly western flavor, the city of Woodland Park CO is just a short 18-mile trip from Colorado Springs. At 8500 feet, we often find the "City Above the Clouds" sunny during periods of inclement weather down Ute Pass. The population of Woodland Park is about 7,200. The surrounding service area of Teller County , however is approximately 21,000.
Gold was discovered west of Pikes Peak in 1859 and the town of Cripple Creek was born overnight!
The Cripple Creek-Victor Gold Mine still operates uphill from Cripple Creek and produces millions of dollars in gold bullion each year. Today, Cripple Creek is better known for its many limited-stakes gambling casinos!
Located at 218 East Midland Avenue, just north of Highway 24, the Woodland Park Library was built in 2003 and contains several thousand books and periodicals. In addition, there are several community meeting rooms and a computer lab! The Woodland Park location is part of the Rampart Range Library District and is supplemented by the second Teller County library branch in Florissant CO.
Approximately 1,000 students attend Woodland Park High School, home of the mighty Panthers! The building was recently refurbished and the Dickson Performing Arts Center added. Teller County students are served by two school districts: Woodland Park RE-2 and Cripple Creek RE-1.
