Great little towns
These neighboring rural communities may be quiet, but don’t be fooled: there’s plenty of fun to be had.
Just outside of Cañon City, these smaller communities are not to be missed. Often described as "frozen in time," this area boasts rolling plains, antique stores, unique mom & pop shops and friendly locals. You'll leave charmed by these quaint communities and hopefully with a few antique treasures as well!
Florence & Penrose have lots of unexpected adventure – even for your taste buds! No matter what your itinerary holds, these local gems will set you up for a great adventure.
The Penrose/Florence area tends to be warmer than El Paso & Teller counties, so trails dry up earlier in the season for hiking and biking. In the fall, apple orchards and pumpkin patches open in Penrose. Florence is also the antique capital of Colorado, with dozens of antique stores and vendors within just a few blocks of each other. Whether you want to relax with a soak at the Desert Reef Hot Springs or experience the ultimate adrenaline rush with SkyDive Colorado Springs, you’ll have a great time in Florence and Penrose!
