Security-Widefield, CO

united states

Security-Widefield is an unincorporated community just south of Colorado Springs, sitting at 6,000 feet elevation in Colorado's high plains. Take US 85/87 as the main route, with I-25 nearby for longer trips to Denver or Pueblo. The area serves military families from Fort Carson and features over 300 sunny days per year. The quirky hyphenated name comes from two merged settlements: Security (after a development company) and Widefield (for the wide grasslands).
