Woodland Park - Hardcover

Woodland Park, at an altitude of nearly 8,500 feet, is located 18 miles west of Colorado Springs along the north slope of Pikes Peak in eastern Teller County. Much of the history of the West passed through this area on the old Ute Trail--now Highway 24--as hunters, trappers, cowboys, Native Americans, settlers, miners, railroaders, ranchers, and tourists discovered an abundance of natural beauty and varied business opportunities through the years. Today, Woodland Park is home to about 8,000 year-round residents, many of whom treasure not only the spectacular scenery but also the rich past of the town they call home. This evocative tour through that past shares vintage photographs collected by the Ute Pass Historical Society.
