What to Know

The Custer County Fair, based in Westcliffe, celebrates the Wet Mountain Valley — Westcliffe sits in a high valley between the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the east and the Wet Mountains to the west, providing one of Colorado's most dramatic mountain settings, and the county's ranching heritage, dark sky designation, and arts community define a mountain county of exceptional character.

Before You Go

Westcliffe is an International Dark Sky Community, offering some of the finest stargazing in Colorado. The Sangre de Cristo Wilderness's Crestone Peaks rise over 14,000 feet above the valley floor. The Wet Mountain Valley's cattle ranching and the Rainbow Trail's scenic hiking route define a high-altitude agricultural community of distinctive character.
