Spend a Day in The City Above the Clouds

To be named the "City Above the Clouds" in a state with as many high-elevation locations as Colorado, Woodland Park must be quite an interesting place to visit. The community's convenient location near Colorado Springs homes for sale, great outdoor attractions, quaint, scenic Main Street, and towering elevation of 8,500 feet all combine to make Woodland Park a wonderful place to spend a day. 

Woodland Park offers a small-town lifestyle and attractions that make it a special place to visit or call home. Of course, Woodland Park has some things that make it stand out from even the most popular mountain towns, thanks to its exceptional elevation, scenic location in the foothills of Pikes Peak, and the many unique attractions located around the corner from Woodland Park homes for sale.

Here are some of the attractions, small businesses, and adventures our real estate agents know that you won't want to miss when you spend the day in the City Above the Clouds:
