Woodland Park is just twenty minutes from Colorado Springs up Ute Pass and is a popular place for outdoor recreation and mountain getaways. The summertime is the best time of the year to visit the town that is bustling with festivals, a large farmer’s market on Fridays, and many outdoor concerts. Some of the great outdoor recreation that can be enjoyed at Woodland Park includes hiking to Horsethief Falls, visiting Mueller State Park, hiking the Centennial Trail, or picnicking in Eleven Mile State Park. The premier attraction at Woodland Park is the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, where there is a hands-on interactive museum that is great for the entire family. Visitors can also stop at the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center for a one-hour tour of the sanctuary.
