Mountain Communities
Jefferson County's mountain communities offer thousands of County residents an unparalleled quality of life. Mountain communities include Evergreen, Morrison, Conifer, Aspen Park, Kittredge, and Bergen Park. Evergreen Evergreen and the associated communities that make up the Evergreen area are cradled in the Rocky Mountains at about 7,500 feet elevation and just 30 miles west of Denver. Evergreen is unincorporated, with a population of over 40,000 people. The area offers a unique mountain lifestyle with a variety of recreation opportunities, but is supported by the necessary amenities and services of a thriving business community. Evergreen encompasses about 130 square miles of pine-and aspen-laden hills. It sprawls the 14,260-foot Mount Evans on the west, to the edge of the high plains on the east, from its sister community of Conifer on the south to the residential communities of Genesee and Lookout Mountain on the north.
