Black Forest

Black Forest in Colorado Springs (zip code 80908) is a heavily wooded area that encompasses some 200,000 acres. It is characterized by mostly 5 acre and larger lots in a rural setting. 

This beautiful area was named by a German Immigrant who thought that the dark hue of the Ponderosa Pine closely resembled the Black Forest in Germany. The elevation here varies from approximately 6500-7800 feet. 

The commercial center is on the corner of Shoup and Black Forest Road. This is where you will find the Community Center, Volunteer Fire Station, churches, gas station and country store.
