Known for its authentic Western character, dark-sky designation, and strong sense of community, Westcliffe offers a rare blend of small-town charm and expansive natural beauty. The surrounding area is defined by open ranchlands, pristine forests, and abundant outdoor recreation, including hiking, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, and stargazing under some of the clearest night skies in the country. With its historic downtown, vibrant arts scene, and easy access to thousands of acres of public land, Westcliffe appeals to those seeking space, privacy, and a genuine connection to Colorado's mountain lifestyle. Recreational opportunities around Westcliffe are both diverse and locally rich, anchored by well-known waters, mountains, and public lands. Fishing is a major draw, with the Arkansas River just over the Sangre de Cristo Range offering nationally recognized trout fishing, while nearby waters such as Grape Creek, Lake DeWeese, Brush Hollow Reservoir, and Alvarado Campground ponds provide excellent opportunities for trout, walleye, bass, and catfish closer to town. Big-game hunting for elk, mule deer, plains and plains whitetail deer, and turkey is abundant throughout GMUs 69, 84, 86, and 671, with access to vast tracts of San Isabel National Forest and adjacent BLM lands. Winter recreation includes cross-country skiing and snowshoeing throughout the Wet Mountains and Sangre de Cristo foothills, while downhill skiing is easily accessed at Monarch Mountain, Ski Cooper near Leadville, and Wolf Creek Ski Area to the south.
