Woodland Park sits at 8,465 feet along Highway 24, about 20 miles west of Colorado Springs — the “City Above the Clouds” in name and in fact. Colorado Springs professionals move here for mountain living without giving up city access. Retirees and families follow for the quiet and the scenery. It’s a deliberate place to live, and moving into or out of it takes the same kind of care.
Mountain moves require mountain thinking. The winding Ute Pass approach limits truck size options; positioning on arrival takes more planning than a flat-city move. Most Woodland Park homes sit on wooded lots with long driveways and limited staging area. Properties off Highway 24 can have access challenges that call for a smaller truck or an extra trip. We assess the property before we arrive — we don’t figure it out on your clock.
Truck rentals run $19.95–$49.95. Our rate is $200 per hour, two-hour minimum. That covers the crew, the labor, and everything else. Most full-service quotes for a Woodland Park move come in several hundred dollars higher — before the surcharges that tend to follow.
Our crew is based in Colorado Springs, 20 minutes down Highway 24. No drive-time charges, no travel fees. Licensed and insured in Colorado. The rate we quote is the rate you pay.

The Smarter Way to Move
Moving companies that serve mountain communities often add altitude fees, mountain surcharges, and minimum hour requirements that inflate the bill fast. Labor-only moving removes all of that. Arrange for a U-Haul, Penske, or Budget truck — typically $19.95–$49.95 depending on size — or let Ballard’s handle the rental. Either way, you pay a straightforward hourly rate for the crew doing the actual loading and unloading — nothing more.
Woodland Park attracts people who are intentional about where they live — mountain views, clean air, a slower pace, but still close enough to Colorado Springs for work and shopping. That same intentionality often carries over to how they hire a moving crew: they want professionals, they want fair pricing, and they don’t want drama. That’s exactly what Ballard’s delivers.
We run Ute Pass constantly — Manitou Springs, Woodland Park, Divide, Cripple Creek. We know the route and we know the territory. When we quote a Woodland Park move, we’re not guessing at what it involves. We know the elevation, the access, and what it takes to finish the job correctly.
Cottage or mountain home, close to downtown or deep in the trees — the model is the same: our experienced crew, your truck, no hidden fees, and no surprises when the job wraps up.
