"In this area we have seen herds of deer, very large herds of elk, a bull and a cow moose, foxes, chipmunks, black squirrels, a porcupine, and a bear. Herds of deer go through the yard almost on a daily basis. Occasionally elk meander through the yard, too. If you like peace and quiet, the beauty of nature, awesome rock formations, gorgeous Aspen trees, huge Douglas Firs, awesome Blue Spruce, and wildlife; then this area is for you. Drive a little further west and you'll see herds of pronghorn antelope, Bison, snow covered mountain top as far as you can see. You're in the mountains here and Pike's Peak is your neighbor. It's absolutely beautiful. Florissant is an extremely small town. There are a couple of convenience stores, but no large grocery stores. You have to go to the next town for a regular grocery store, but it's not very far at all. A little further east there's a beautiful little town called Woodland Park. It has a number large grocery stores, small shops, and restaurants there; but if you want shopping malls, large department stores chains, extremely fancy restaurants, or bar rooms; then you'll have to go into Colorado Springs. There are no herds of Bison, Elk, or Pronghorn antelope in Colorado Springs though, but you may occasionally see a few deer. If you like skiing then Breckenridge, Vail, and Aspen ski resorts aren't very far from Florissant. If you're looking for entertainment, Pikes Peak and the town of Woodland Park is a tourist attraction; so there's always something going on to keep you entertained. If you like sledding, you don't even have to leave your yard. You can sled right here on your own acreage. It just depends on what you're looking far. "
