In the shadow of Longs Peak all nestled in “as snug as a bug in a rug”, lies the town of Lyons, Colorado. It is the town below the cliff. “The Double Gateway to the Rockies” – the land of the Lyons sandstone, truly in “Red Rimrock Country”. At an elevation of 5374 feet about 2000 people call it home. So many residents are employed out of town that we are sometimes referred to as a bedroom community.
