Lighting in Palmer Lake
Volunteers built the star on Sundance Mountain in 1935, and the Palmer Lake Volunteer Fire Department has looked after it since 1937. It’s about 405 feet tall, lit by 92 bulbs, and shines every night from the Saturday after Thanksgiving through December. The fire department’s Chili Supper and Star Lighting marked its 90th anniversary on November 29, 2025.

Palmer Lake sits near the top of the Palmer Divide, which lifts winter storms. The neighboring Monument weather station averaged 15.9 inches of snow in November and 12.8 in December, and parts of the Divide can get one to two feet while downtown Colorado Springs gets an inch or two. We plan installs for clear days and keep your lights working through the season.

Many homes in The Glen began as Chautauqua-era cottages on the hillsides south of the lake. The Town calls fire mitigation extremely important given its setting, and the Colorado State Forest Service asks owners to keep roofs and gutters clear of needles and debris. Clear gutters make for a cleaner install too.
