Pine

Also referred to as Pine Grove, Pine is a tiny, rustic town tucked away in the foothills south of Highway 285. There are a couple of restaurants and shops in the area that serve unique food and drinks.

Pine is surrounded by the Pike National Forest in a scenic valley at 6,738 feet of elevation. Lodging comes in the form of quaint B&Bs and lakeside cabins in this Jefferson County town.

Established in 1886 by Charles Drake, Pine Grove was originally a summer resort town and residence for local railroad workers. It remained popular for tourists until the rise of the highways and the decline of the railroads. In 1937 the train stopped running through town.
