2012 TELLER COUNTY GUIDE
Welcome…

ith a bit of Western flair one would expect from a group of towns that date back to the Colorado Gold Rush Days, Teller County and its surrounding area offers up a lifestyle that suits the old-timer as well as the young family man and woman.
Indeed there is something for everyone in these quiet, mountain towns. From an abundance of trails fit for horseback riding and hiking to a never-ending celebration of the arts to private fishing holes and a town to roll the dice in, no matter where you go America’s Mountain is just a turn of the head away. It’s that mountain and all its surrounding beauty and peace that have brought so many to these communities through the years, yet each community in Teller County
also has managed to stay small as it has stood the test of time, grown and prospered in its own way. And don’t let the locals fool you. While many appear to put up a gruff exterior, there isn’t a one who won’t be happy to stop and answer a question or say hello. After all, it’s the Colorado way. It’s, quite simply, what we do. Inside, we’ve taken the time to list some of the biggest events that will take place in our various communities throughout the year as well as
shed a little light on some of the unique aspects that make each of those communities special. To learn more about Teller County, however, we encourage you to visit www.ourtellercountynews.com for daily news updates and to find out what is going on around the area. You can also get upto-date information in our weekly print publications, the Pikes Peak Courier View and Teller County Extra. Enjoy, and give us a call if you have any questions. ■
