A Morning Colorado Sky

By
Real Estate Agent CO: II100035296

Even though I like my downtown Colorado Springs home, I enjoy spending time out in Woodland Park, Colorado.  The elevation is higher there, so the temperatures run about 10 degrees cooler than Colorado Springs.  Plus, Woodland Park is a very pretty area and the drive to and from Woodland Park is spectacular. 

Since Woodland Park is only 18 miles to the west of Colorado Springs, it is a very easy drive.   I frequently stop at a little convenience store/liquor store on HWY 24, the name of which I can't recall, for a cup of coffee.   Maybe if I wasn't in the need of coffee, I might remember the name.   

I always enjoy this view from their parking lot.

Colorado:  See It.  Experience It.  Live It.

Woodland Park sounds like a great escape from the city. All your views are spectacular.

Hi Sondra. This brings back some nice memories while I was stationed at Fort Carson years ago. Very Nice photo of the beautiful, blue and clear skies of Woodland Park.

What a great way to spend the day Sondra and what a view - beautiful. I love a one-day vacation when you don't have a lot of time but, want to get out into nature and Woodland park is the perfect place to do this! Have a wonderful time!

Our clouds here always seem to be all or none, rarely beautiful wispy ones like that.

Even more beautiful than the skies in Colorado are the mountains full of trees. We have mountains here, but they are full of rocks and Southern California brush.

Hi Sondra,

 Richard sent me as well...that Richard! I also have subscribed to your blog per his suggestion. I'm a huge fan of Colorado, if you could import an ocean, I'd be there. I have a daughter going to school in Denver, so I do come visit and enjoy Boulder hiking and such...haven't made it to Colorado Springs, but you're making the trip mighty tempting.

A pleasure to meet you,  DJ
