Colorado Springs: When the Sun Goes Down

By
Real Estate Agent with EXP Realty, LLC

Colorado Springs is located between the front range of the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains.  

View of the Mountains from Colorado Springs

 

  Initially, the plains are not as breath takingly beautiful or as awe inspiring as the Rocky Mountains, Pikes Peak or Garden of the Gods.  

 

Fountain Valley School from the highway

(The picture above is of the Fountain Valley School, a private college preparatory school founded in 1929 that lies south east of Colorado Springs.  The school has both an English and Western equestrian program.  The school is nestled in the trees.  Their horse facilities are VERY nice. )

Yet when the sun goes down, the sky that can be seen from the Great Plains steals the show.

The nice thing about Colorado Springs is that you can enjoy both the mountains, the city and the plains....all in the same day.

Beautiful photos of Colorado Springs Sondra and you do live in a gorgeous part of the county. I love the mountains, fresh air, hiking, biking, blue sky and nature everywhere you look - my kinda living! Colorado is definitely a place I've thougth about living some day, but for now we own commerical property here in NJ and won't be going anywhere for a while. But I can dream...

Sondra, flying into Denver from Chicago at low altitude one time on a sunny day I marveled at the flatness and expanse of the plains to the east of the mountains. Best of both worlds there I agree. Super photos as always.
