Evergreen offers the best of both worlds - a scenic and secluded mountain retreat, and quick access to the Denver metropolitan area. With over 300 days of sunshine a year and an altitude of over 7,000 feet above sea level, smog is virtually unheard of here.

Evergreen is surrounded by thousands of acres of beautiful open space with an abundance of wildflowers and wildlife that includes elk, deer, fox, hawks, hummingbirds and the occasional bear and moose. The focal point of the community is the sparkling blue mountain lake that offers fishing and boating in the summer and ice skating in the winter.

Though the initial view of Evergreen may appear to be "laid back", the community supports a variety of cultural organizations, events, and establishments. Theater groups, a chorale, a chamber orchestra, and art associations find enthusiastic participation within the community. Several establishments encourage live musical entertainment, year-round, with tastes that run from New Age to jazz and country & Western to rhythm & blues and rock 'n' roll.

Evergreen also offers two golf courses (one public and one private), a recreational center and miles of trails and parks to provide hiking, horseback riding, mountain bike riding, sledding and cross-country skiing for those desiring physical entertainment. Our community is within a short distance of many of Colorado's outstanding ski areas and minutes away from historic mining town gambling and all the entertainment that metro Denver has to offer.
