The Ute Pass Historical Society is a non-profit organization that actively preserves and shares the history of Ute Pass. Ute Pass is located along U.S Highway 24 west of Colorado Springs, on the north side of Pikes Peak. It includes the communities of Cascade, Chipita Park, Green Mountain Falls, Crystola, Woodland Park and Divide. We invite you to join us by becoming a patron or volunteer.

Our services include our museum tours and field trips, gift shop, educational programs, historic photos for reprints and research, archives, and traveling photo exhibit.

The Pikes Peak Museum is a group of six historic buildings at Ute Pass History Park in Woodland Park, CO. In our museum, you can learn about the Ute People, the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, and the Colorado Midland Railway, and many other stories from the history of Ute Pass. We welcome guests and would be happy to give you a tour.

The UPHS Gift Shop offers a wide selection of books on Colorado and Western history as well as unique gifts. Reprints of historic photos from our large collection of images of Teller County and the Pikes Peak region are available for purchase.
