Parking is in front of the house, with additional diagonal parking available on the intersecting side street. Westcliffe is a small, quiet and engaging mountain community whose residents treasure its long ranching and mining history, the surrounding mountains, and the wide open Wet Mountain Valley within which it is located. The altitude of Westcliffe is 7,887 feet above sea level and it is surrounded by mountains, several of which are among the highest in Colorado, soaring to over 14,000 feet. The nearby Rainbow Trail offers great hiking opportunity for all levels of ability. Westcliffe is an internationally certified Dark Sky Community with a rich community calendar of numerous music festivals, other live music, live theater and art festivals year-round. The home sits on a quiet corner in a residential neighborhood one block off Westcliffe's Main Street. A newly renovated small city park is one block away on the corner of Main (Hiway 96) and 4th Street with flower gardens, a pavilion and seating. A larger city park with a playground, ball field, two small pavilions and bathroom facilities is three blocks away in the other direction. Across the street from there is yet another city park with a larger pavilion, playing field, and tennis courts. Bluff Park with its amazing wide open views of the Wet Mountain Valley and Sangre de Cristo mountain range is an easy 4 block walk westward. There you will also find Smokey Jack Observatory that hosts star-viewing parties and public events. Bluff Park is also the location of Westcliffe's famous High Mountain Hayfever Bluegrass Festival held every July, as well as other live events. All of downtown Westcliffe is available with an easy stroll.
