Guffey Colorado is a small, friendly mountain town, centrally located less than 1 mile off Hwy 9 in southeast Park County. 11-Mile Reservoir is just up the road, Cripple Creek is just over the hill and the Royal Gorge is just down the hill. The summers are pleasant with brief afternoon rain showers; the winters average 65" of snowfall. Blue skies and sunshine prevail 300 days a year.School District
Guffey Community Charter School averages 30 students grades K-8th. The small size is a great benefit to the students since it is small enough for personal attention, yet large enough to stimulate thinking and sharing. As the kids graduate from GCCS, they have the ability to move on to several high schools - Fairplay, Canon City, Cripple Creek or Woodland Park. These high schools fulfill a variety of academic needs.Community

The Guffey caldera (basin) is part of a much larger volcanic complex that includes Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Originally called Freshwater, Guffey sprang up following the 1859 gold rush. The oldest living trees in the Rocky Mountains (up to 2,000 years old) still grow on Black and Thirty Nine Mile Mountains just outside of town.Location of Home or Land
