El Paso County El Paso County, with more than 2,158 square miles, covers most of the Colorado Springs metropolitan area. The western portion of El Paso County is extremely mountainous; the eastern part is prairie land where dairy cows and beef cattle are the main source of ranchers’ income. The altitude ranges from about 5,095 feet on the southern border at Black Squirrel Creek to 14,110 feet on the summit of Pikes Peak, near the western boundary. The county seat is located in Colorado Springs. All can enjoy the natural physical beauty of the area, which is situated at the base of Pikes Peak and has an uninterrupted view of the Front Range. The magnifi cent scenery inspired Katherine Lee Bates to write the poem America the Beautiful after her visit here. The mild climate, on average, supplies 285 days of sunshine, 15 inches of rain, 35 inches of snow and very low levels of humidity. With more than 150,000 acres (230 square miles) of open space, El Paso County is also a year-round sports paradise offering hunting, fi shing, camping, mountain climbing, hiking and soaring. In addition, county residents and visitors can enjoy equestrian and rodeo sports, golf, the U.S. Olympic Training Center, the Pikes Peak Center, the World Ice Arena and much more. Eight communities lie within the boundaries of El Paso County: Colorado Springs, Monument, Fountain, Palmer Lake, Manitou Springs, Calhan, Ramah and Green Mountain Falls. Cripple Creek, Victor and Woodland Park are nearby in adjacent Teller County. The entire area is known as the Pikes Peak Region. Relocation GUIDE 2007 Colorado Springs 13
