Green Mountain Falls is a small village with a year-round population of 900…it is quiet and there is no traffic. You can walk most anywhere in 20 minutes. There are two waterfalls to discover, a lake to fish for trout, a park to picnic and three small restaurants including the most popular breakfast spot in the entire region. You can take a trail that follows the falls up to a meadow with wild strawberries and a magnificent view of the village and continue on, if you wish, to one of Pikes Peak reservoirs to fish for wild trout. Or…you can simply\ sit at “Mountain Symphony” and listen to the wind in the pines and distant water falls while your children explore the small stream.

We have our favorites, as I am certain you will. Deer can be seen most every day grazing on the grass in front of the house, chipmunks entertain and, if you are lucky, very shy bears may be seen on the mountain. Canadian geese arrive every spring and stay for the summer. They can be seen all over the town, some with their young goslings. We encourage you to enjoy the animals but respect their natural fear of humans and give them their space by not approaching them. When driving be on the outlook for geese who regularly choose the middle of the lake road to sun.
