Welcome to Westcliffe
High in the southern Colorado Rockies lies a valley steeped in the traditions and lore that have made Colorado inviting to people around the world. With the Wet Mountains to the east, and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the west, the Wet Mountain Valley is home for the 3,500 residents of Custer County. Originally settled by German immigrants in 1869, this valley still thrives as a farming and ranching community with many descendants still operating the original homesteads. During the 1870's, silver and gold were discovered in the surrounding hills, and several boom towns sprang up in the sheltered valleys of the Wet Mountains. While the mining days of yore are long gone, small communities stand in their stead amid the remains of the buildings, many of which have been restored by private individuals.
