Green Mountain Fallsis located in Ute Pass west of Manitou Springs. Long before the town existed, a trail ran by the site of present-day Green Mountain Falls. This trail, known as the Ute Pass Trail, was used first by the Ute tribes, then Spanish explorers and finally by white settlers moving west. This scenic mountain community was one of three towns set up as vacation spots first for dust-weary Kansans, then upper-class Easterners. Today, the trail has been paved over and is still used as Route 24.

Area attractions include Cave of the Winds, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Cripple Creek & Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad, Garden of the Gods, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, and Pikes Peak.

Outdoor enthusiasts flock to the Pike National Forest and its wide range of activities, like driving up Pike's Peak to camping in areas such as picturesque Guanella Pass.
