Neighborhood highlights

Apple Mountain is a small residential subdivsion located on the Eastern Continental Divide. Our home is surrounded by wilderness which provides protection for many wild animals. There are occasional sightings of small bear, deer, turkeys, and we recently heard the howl of a cougar.
