Anyone know what towns are the best in Colorado?|187083

My husband and I love Colorado and are planning on moving there in the near future. We have been researching towns online, but I haven_t been able to figure out what town would be best for us. We are very outdoorsy. We love to camp, hike, bike ride, all that good stuff. We are also looking for a town that has good home prices and good schools, because I am an elementary school teacher. I would really appreciate any insight anyone has on different towns in Colorado. Oh we are not city people so we would prefer a medium to small sized town over a large city.

Personally, I love Estes Park, Colorado.

Rocky Mountain National Park and Roosevelt National Forest surround the village of Estes Park, Colorado with spectacular mountain scenery, abundant wildlife habitat, miles of hiking trails and scenic drives including Trail Ridge Road over the Continental Divide and the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway.

Deffiantely Colorado Springs! We lived there for a couple years, and loved it! It_s perfect for outdoor adventure! You_ve got Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, Some waterfalls, Palmer Park, and even a castle and Pikes Peak is very close! I would say Colorado Springs is the best place to live in Colorado if you like outdoor stuff! But you can always go to Rocky Mountain National Park for the weekend! Is not that far! But for adventure some places I would recomend are Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado National Monument, Black Canyon Of Gunnison, Royal Gorge, Great Sand Dunes, Mesa, Hovenweep, Dinosaur National Monuent! Those are some of the few you must see in Colorado, but all the nice stuff is west of the Rockies! Eastern Colorado is flat prarie! Move to Colorado Springs! You will like! Is very nice!

Vail, Boulder and Colorado Springs are great place to settle down. Denver is also great, with good schools, but it_s a fairly large city. Boulder and Colorado Springs are smaller college towns and are somewhat affordable. The views are fantastic. Vail may be a little pricey, but the skiing there is great.
