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.
