Welcome to Allenspark
As you drive up the canyon to the village of Allenspark and the Scenic Peak to Peak area you’re struck by the untouched beauty of the Saint Vrain Rivers and tributaries that feed them. The rivers together with the stunning mountain vistas leave you wanting more. You might even be touched with the desire to protect the beauty and become a steward of the area as many are who reside in these mountains!
Opportunities abound for those who love the out-of-doors. Everything from mild day hikes along beautiful rivers, blue ribbon fishing, cross-country skiing, technical climbing, and scaling the fourteeners, is available here. The scenic Peak to Peak By-Way is a stretch of highway designated by the State of Colorado because of its unique beauty and character. It stretches from Estes Park (Highway 7) through Nederland (Highway 72), all of which are within a 1/2-hour drive from Allenspark. Along this scenic by-way is access to Rocky Mountain National Park, Roosevelt National Forest, Arapahoe National Forest, and the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area. The surrounding mountains are dotted with jewels of towns that have unique historical significance. Some of them have now taken their place in history as ghost towns. You’ll find stimulating conversations in the cafes, post offices, and churches, or if you prefer peace, you’ll find it here, too.
Our small mountain towns are becoming bedroom communities for many who work in the Boulder-Longmont area. It is a relatively short commute (35 minutes to an hour) and is a welcome respite for the previous city dwellers
