0 Pet Friendly Apartments for Rent

If it's always been your dream to live at the edge of the Grand Canyon but you wither at the thought of 120-degree summers, Canon City (altitude 5,332 ft.) may be just your place. Straddling the eastern edge of Colorado's untamable Royal Gorge, some 1,000 feet above the rapids of the Arkansas River, Canon City has always commanded its own eclectic fan base. Travelers flock to this area not only to raft the rapids or test their nerves climbing the rock face at Shelf Road, to but to delve into the intriguing history of Colorado's imaginative concept of Alcatraz Island. Canon City's reputation as "prison valley" is legendary, since prisons and penitentiaries in this beautiful, arid valley are almost as common a sight as fast food restaurants. They are also a perpetual fascination to tourists, which is why the Museum of Colorado Prisons and its collection of "confiscated prisoner weapons" are major attractions for travelers much of the year. That's not to say that living here can be likened to incarceration, however. With mild winters that still put you within reach of skiing and snowboarding and warm, great summer attractions, Canon City has plenty to keep you busy. It also has a wide selection of communities in which to live, from neighborhoods with adjoining golf courses to rental houses and 1 bedroom apartments. And no, despite the penitentiary's unusually strong draw for risk seekers, the city doesn't rent out rooms at any of its prisons on a night-per-night basis. See more
