Tri-Lakes Region Colorado Tourism

The Tri-Lakes Region is the northern area of El Paso County, the heart of the Palmer Divide, and a short distance between Denver and Colorado Springs.

We are a land of red rock escarpments, undulating pine forests, with Front Range mountain backdrops crested in blue sky and dotted with powder white clouds.

The communities of Monument, Palmer Lake and Woodmoor are the center of our commerce and for which the regional name of Tri-Lakes is derived. We also share our home with the United States Air Force Academy. The mostly unincorporated areas of Gleneagle, Black Forest and Larkspur are developing residential areas with convenient business access.

The Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center is a business and community advocate and welcomes visitors and newcomers. The Chamber supports tourism and economic development programs for Northern El Paso County. Several hundred businesses serve our growing region of over 40,000 residents making us a consumer based economy.

Technology, medical products and education also are at home in Northern El Paso County. Software products and services, communication and electronic technologies are supported by the Pikes Peak Community College system and our large professional technical workforce.

The small town ambiance and historic flavor of Palmer Lake and Monument are the very best “getaways” for shopping, relaxation, exploring, hiking and biking in our region. Visit Monument Market Place, enjoy the Black Forest or take a tour of the Air Force Academy.
