Colorado Springs Pollen Report
Colorado Springs sits at 6,000 feet where the plains meet the Rockies — juniper country on one side, prairie grass on the other. Juniper and elm start the spring, cottonwoods bloom along Fountain Creek, grasses carry the summer, and ragweed and sagebrush close out the fall. Chinook winds off Pikes Peak keep pollen moving across the Front Range.
