Woodland Park is a compact mountain town — the “City Above the Clouds” at about 8,481 ft — sitting on the edge of Pike National Forest with direct access to Pikes Peak, making it perfect for multi‑week stays filled with hiking, mountain biking, scenic drives and a friendly downtown with local shops and community events.
You’re only ~19 miles (≈25–30 min) from Colorado Springs for big‑city dining, hospitals and nightlife, and Pueblo is within roughly 60–65 miles for an alternate day trip, so you won’t be stuck with nothing to do.
