The Front Range
The Northern Front Range corridor is a mix of diverse populations, thriving cities, and active lifestyles, all within view of the spectacular Rocky Mountains. This region spans from the beautiful foothills of Golden to the sweeping plains of Greeley and has a rich history of ranching, farming, and mining. Colorado’s Front Range along the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains has long attracted people, including the Ute, Arapaho, and Cheyenne people. Today many Native people from numerous tribes continue to call it home.
The region is home to vibrant art scenes, numerous museums and arts complexes, iconic music venues, and a multitude of professional sports teams. In this region, one can spend the day exploring Rocky Mountain National Park and the evening watching musicians perform at Red Rocks. The vibrant cities and towns along the northern Front Range, all with their own unique identities and histories, offer an optimal blend of urban amenities and access to Colorado’s natural environments, allowing for the enjoyment of the best of both worlds on a daily basis.
