Residents enjoy four distinct seasons - sunny summers, brilliant fall aspens, snowy winters made for skiing and snowboarding, and mild springs - with over 300 days of sunshine a year supporting hiking, biking, climbing, and running virtually year-round. The city is anchored by iconic landmarks like Pikes Peak- America's Mountain - and the towering red rock formations of Garden of the Gods, plus a lively historic downtown filled with local restaurants, breweries, art galleries, and shops.
