Valley of the Blue is on the southern side of Summit County on the east bank of the Blue River and across it lies the highest mountains in the county. The 14er, Quandary Mountain, is the last mountain before Hoosier Ridge, which separates Park and Summit counties, and is the highest peak in on the Summit side. Getting out of town to the south and over the pass into South Park is easy, so this is great property for people living in Colorado Springs or elsewhere in southern Colorado.  It’s south of the incorporated town of Blue River so it is governed only by the rules of the county.

Quandary and several 13,000 foot peaks on the Valley of the Blue side of the Blue River, are in view from homes for sale in Valley of the Blue, and offer hiking and cross-country ski opportunities.
