This Front Range town south of Denver is an historic crossroads community.  Those traveling south on U.S. 85 toward Castle Rock or those looking for adventures in the Pike National Forest will have to pass through Sedalia to get there.  While new communities are being developed on either side of Sedalia, the tiny community has managed to keep many of its quaint qualities.  Those seeking outdoor adventure rather than art will enjoy spectacular fly fishing along the South Platte River west of Sedalia. Hiking and biking trails and camping facilities also abound throughout the Rampart Range in Pike National Forest, also due west of town.
