WELCOME TO OTHER COUNTIES BORDERING EL PASO AND TELLER COUNTIES: SOUTHEAST AND SOUTHWEST DOUGLAS, ELBERT, AND EASTERN PARK COUNTIES
Southeast and Southwest Douglas County: Douglas County is strategically located between Colorado's two largest cities: Denver and Colorado Springs. Approximately 80% of its workforce commutes to jobs and offices in these urban centers. In order to provide local employment opportunities, and to diversify its tax base, the County actively plans for, and pursues, well-managed, quality commercial development. The County's strength, comes from a perfect blend of quality lifestyle and business environment. To preserve the area's natural environment, 70% of the corridor between Denver and Colorado Springs will retain agricultural, ranching, parks, and open space uses. Recreational facilities include over 146,000 acres of Pike National Forest, two state parks (Roxborough and Castlewood Canyon), a state recreation area (Chatfield), and numerous county, municipal, and local parks, trails, and open spaces. The pioneer spirit and eternal beauty of the mountains, foothills, and plains remain in Douglas County.
Elbert County: Elbert County is a lovely, sparsely populated area located in central Colorado, just south east of Denver. Many of Elbert County's residents work in Denver or the suburbs and make a short commute. The area is made up primarily of ranch land and farms, with gently rolling grasslands and plenty of wild life. The county seat is in Kiowa, named after the Kiowa Indians in the mid 1850's. Kiowa is the home of the Kiowa Cowboy Up Rodeo and Elbert County Fair. The county fair offers a variety of arts and crafts, animals, and rodeo events. The town presents a sleepy image with plenty of country charm that hasn't changed much over the years. The largest town is Elizabeth which was founded in 1890 and is 6,450 feet above sea level. Most of the population of Elbert County is located around the town of Elizabeth in small acreage subdivisions. Elizabeth is the home of the Elizabeth Stampede , a PRCA Rodeo held in early June. In addition to great rodeo events, there are many other activities such as summer music festivals.
Eastern Park County: Minutes away from world class skiing at Breckenridge Ski Area, Keystone Resort, Copper Mountain, Arapahoe Basin and Vail Resort. Countless trails for hiking and mountain biking are our backyards. Beautiful South Park, a high country plateau spreading between encircling mountains at an average elevation of 9500 feet above sea level, boasts some of the most beautiful scenery in Colorado in the largest county with the very least population (just 14000) to offer privacy and an abundance of wildlife -- herds of Elk, Antelope, Deer, Rocky Mountain Sheep and Buffalo. You will see Coyotes, Bears, Bobcats, Cougars and Lynx on rare occasions, along with a plethora of red fox, brown fox, squirrels, raccoons, prairie dogs, gophers, rabbits and other small game. Multitudes of birds! Excellent lake fishing is available at Tarryall Reservoir, Spinney Mountain Reservoir, Eleven-Mile Reservoir, Jefferson Lake and Antero Reservoir, along with great stream fishing throughout the county.
