Evergreen is nestled in the mountains, about 45 minutes from downtown Denver and 70 minutes from the Denver International Airport. It's a peaceful small town that lies at an elevation of 7,200 feet and is about an hour from some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the state. The jewel of the community is the Evergreen Lake House at Evergreen Lake. It's located about seven miles south on the Evergreen Parkway and includes four seasons of activities for the whole family. Ice skating season runs from mid December to mid March, and summer activities include boating (with rentals available,) trout fishing, hiking (a 1.5 mile trail circles the lake,) and outdoor concerts. Below the dam is a high altitude garden with several sculptures, and the northwest portion of the lake features bridges and board walks through a wetlands area. Picnic tables and grassy play areas are located on the northwest side beside the parking lot. The beautiful log Lake House is located on the west end of the lake and is open to the public and available to rent for special events. Other attractions in Evergreen include the Buchanan Park Recreation Center, which features a 40-foot "rock climbing" pinnacle, a "lazy river" current pool, water slide, hot tub and sauna. The area also provides a diverse array of shopping, including historic downtown Evergreen, which features antique shops, galleries, souvenirs and specialty shops.

Evergreen Weather & Climate

North-central Colorado has a semi-arid, continental climate with over 300 days of sunshine per year. It's a common misconception that due to its close proximity to the mountains and world-class skiing, that north-central Colorado has harsh winters. This is not entirely true. While there may be occasional bitter temperatures, storms do not last long. Periods of snow alternate with mild periods. The snow quickly melts with the mild daytime winter temperatures. The hottest months are July and August with an average high temperature of 74 degrees. The coldest month is January with an average temperature of 30 degrees. This region has four distinct seasons, and being along the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains means weather patterns are subject to rapid, volatile, yet brief changes.
