Where is Pinecliffe Located?
Pinecliffe is nestled in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. It's found in two different counties: Boulder County and Gilpin County. This is a bit unusual, as most communities are entirely within one county.
The community sits at an elevation of about 8,012 feet (2,442 meters) above sea level. This high elevation means it's surrounded by stunning mountain views and forests.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community like Pinecliffe is a place where people live, but it's not officially a city or town. It doesn't have its own mayor or city council. Instead, the county government handles services like roads, police, and fire protection.
These communities often grow around a specific feature, like a post office or a general store. They might have a unique name and a strong sense of community, even without a formal local government.
