Historic Green Mountain Falls Foundation

Directions Website

Historic Green Mountain Falls Foundation We achieve these goals by engaging in collaborative projects, offering educational programs, and utilizing advocacy efforts.

The Historic Green Mountain Falls Foundation, formed in 2006, is dedicated to enhancing and preserving the unique qualities of Green Mountain Falls and the surrounding area. The foundation focuses on historic preservation, open spaces, parks, trails, and projects that are integral to this distinctive setting at the base of Pikes Peak. Our objectives are simple: to protect and preserve the historical treasures and natural environment that make the Green Mountain Falls area so special. We believe that when nature thrives, so do people, and by preserving our past, we can inspire the future. We encourage thoughtful economic development by attracting cultural tourism through the annual Green Box Arts Festival, public art installations such as the Green Mountain Falls Skyspace by James Turrell, the Keith Haring Fitness Court, and the many art installations that you will find around town. The Green Box website provides information on meaningful opportunities for locals and visitors to connect with arts, culture, and the surrounding natural beauty. We welcome anyone who shares our passion for preserving the rich history of our community to join us.

The leaves are changing, and you never know when the weather could send us all into hibernation! 🥶

Get some fresh mountain air and hit one of our new trails while conditions allow! Check the forecast, bring layers and leave plenty of daylight for your return. Find trail maps here: hgmff.org/trails

Here’s a fun fact for your Wednesday! 👇

The American Discovery Trail stretches from coast to coast and passes through our community along Ute Pass Avenue.

It was an honor to see members of the community and Friends at Ute Pass trials taking part in American Discovery 250 Relay.

Pretty cool to see our town connected to a much bigger story!

Discover over 20 miles of trails around Green Mountain Falls preserved by HGMFF for hiking, nature and community enjoyment.

Nothing to see here, just a furry neighbor getting ready for winter! 🐻

Our very own Dolores Davis spotted this wild wanderer, dubbed the Green Box Bear, making its way around our office.

Be a good neighbor to people and wildlife:

1. Put bird feeders away while bears are active.

2. Keep pet food indoors, and clean grills after use.

3. Close (and lock!) accessible windows, doors and garages.

Keep Green Mountain Falls in Leave No Trace Gold Standard Site shape by following these easy-to-remember tips:

1. Stick to the trail! Going off trail can damage vegetation and contribute to erosion.

2. Enjoy prime leaf-peeping weather without pulling branches, carving trees or taking pieces of the landscape home.

3. Take your food, wrappers and pet waste with you to help protect our open spaces and wildlife.

September is a great time for a wildfire-ready fall cleanup! Here’s how YOU can help create a more defensible space. 👇

Within the 5 to 30-foot zone around your home, take a good look at your vegetation and clear any leaves, pine needles and other debris from decks, roofs or gutters.

What’s on your fall cleanup list?
