It was incorporated in 1890 as a summer getaway that straddles El Paso and Teller Counties and is surrounded on three sides by Pike National Forest, with great trails, waterfalls, wildflowers, creeks and a town lake. In 1887, a man named W.J. Foster bought the valley to develop into a tourism haven. At the time, there was only a ranch and one house at the location. A year later, they had excavated a lake, built a gazebo, laid out streets and constructed tent cabins on the hills surrounding the small town. Two hotels, the Green Mountain Falls Hotel and Lakeside Hotel, followed. The lake offered boating and fishing, and the town had hot-air balloon rides, concerts, dances and baseball games. It was a vacation destination that quickly became tradition for hundreds of families. The hotel billed itself as: “The Most Popular Health & Pleasure Resort in the Rocky Mountains.
