Lyons is located at the entrance to both the North and South St. Vrain Rivers, only twenty miles east of Rocky Mountain National Park. Beautiful red cliffs border the town, which features enough amenities to be comfortable but still enjoys a traditional small-town atmosphere.
Lyons has mild climate. It is cool in the summer and fairly warm in the winter since it is located in a bowl surrounded by sandstone. There's rarely a day without at least a few rays of sunshine!
