Get CenturyLink in Westcliffe, Colorado

While Colorado is well known for the Rockies, you might not know how majestic the Sangre de Cristo Mountains are—unless you live in Westcliffe. This town of about 600 strong stands just as regal as this southernmost range of the Rocky Mountains. And if you've just moved here, you know that this small-but-mighty home of yours has plenty to offer.

Besides the spectacular hiking, hunting, camping, backpacking, and biking you can enjoy along the Sangre de Cristo peaks, you can stop by the Silver Cliff Museum on weekends to learn more about the silver mining that helped this area boom in the 1870s.

Would you rather spend time in less strenuous settings than a mountain range? Music Meadows Ranch has it all. Stay in the historic ranch house (CenturyLink internet can help you book your reservation!) and experience homesteading at its purest. Don't worry, though--you aren't expected to rough it; you'll have access to modern amenities like running water and cloud-soft beds as you explore the ranch. After a long day of horseback riding or rounding up cattle, you can relax to a professionally prepared dinner—Music Meadows produces the Sangres Best Beef, which is melt-in-your-mouth tender.

So, really, what's not to love about Westcliffe?
