Woodland Park Colorado

Woodland Park, Colorado

FacebookTwitter

Due to population growth in Colorado, Woodland Park is now more of a suburb of Colorado Springs than the tourist town it once was. Pikes Peak hovers in the distance, visible from nearly anywhere in town. It’s located just west of the Springs on Highway 24.

There are a lot of choices for grabbing a bite in town. Established in 1962, the Swiss Chalet Restaurant serves fine steak and seafood in an Alps-like setting. The Historic Ute Inn is a locals’ dive with a full lunch and dinner menu.

For tasty micro brew and plenty of outdoor seating head to BierWerks Brewery. Crystola Roadhouse is a biker bar on Highway 24, with burgers, beer and live music.

Main Attractions

Pikes Peak – This mammoth peak can be seen from town and offers sightseeing and recreation. Head to the top via Pikes Peak Highway or the Cog Railway.

  • Nearby Mueller State Park offers over a hundred campsites in an alpine forest.

Fishing:
