Woodland Park sits at the base of Pikes Peak, "America's Mountain", at an elevation of 8465 feet. It is known as "The City Above the Clouds" due to it's abundant sunshine, and boasts a cozy population of about 7,600.
Woodland Park - The History
The largest city in Teller County, Woodland Park is about 18 miles from Colorado Springs, traveling west on Highway 24 through the scenic Ute Pass.
Many log cabins were built in the area for this purpose, and remain here today as private residences. Others would come to enjoy the mountain setting staying at grand hotels, such as the Midland Hotel. Logging was the primary industry in Woodland Park during the 1800's, supporting the railroad and gold mines of Cripple Creek and Victor.
