Stage Station

Step back in time as you stroll along the remains of the old stagecoach trail that meanders throughout Stage Station. Take a leisurely stroll through the woods and rock outcroppings (Hoodoos) of neighborhood open spaces. Convenient to the US Air Force Academy, this intimate enclave is rich in history and mere minutes from the Santa Fe Regional Trail and a variety of parks and recreational opportunities accessible from I-25, Woodmen Road, Academy Boulevard, and Powers Boulevard. Rich in history, the Stage Station area was once home to the 1860s settlement of Edgerton, Colorado. Located at what was once the confluence of Monument Creek and West Monument Creek, this early settler village was home to the Stage Station and Teachout Hotel, established as the first stage station north of Old Colorado City on the route to Denver. Enjoying a run, walk, or bike ride on the Santa Fe Trail, the ruins of the hotel, stables, and stone barn are still visible in the meadow from the trail that runs along the northern boundary of Stage Station.
