What's it like in Colorado?

A Good-Beautiful-Morning to my fellow Coloradoans!

Next weekend I'm off to Estes to check out the turning leaves for a day. I agree, Loveland is a very good retirement location. And not the "sit and crochet" types necessarily, we have many super-active seniors that put me to shame on their bicycles and with their walking partners, passing me by as I stroll along on the walking trails.

Look out! Scoot over or gramma will run you over.

Kidding, I do love it here so much!

Yep, my mother and step-dad live in Loveland, it is a very nice community. I just thought of Berthoud, that would be a good place to.

Property information on RE/MAX ALLIANCE ? Remax.com

The addresses are in the Eaton district, but both homes are about 15 miles east of Fort Collins.

Those properties are beautiful!! I think that is a little more than she wanted to spend, but wow!! Very nice.

I am 43 years old and born and raised in Colorado Springs. I plan on never leaving. There are so many things here to do that people come from all over the world to do and see!

I live in Fort Lupton, CO! It's not the best place in Colorado, but I'm in Colorado and have a much lower mortgage than most people! It's about an hour to Rocky Mountain National Park.

As for kayak/canoe - GOLDEN! Golden, CO is the place for that!

I live on the West Slope, western Colorado. Grand Junction, right on the Colorado River. 25 miles from the Utah line. It's high desert here. Mesas, plateaus and red rock canyons. Fabulous.

It's mostly public land just outside of the city limits. Don't have to drive far at all to be hiking in a gorgeous unnamed red rock canyon. And you might not even see anyone else on your hike!

Oh my gosh, my brother is building a house out in Fort Lupton right now! How do you like it? Have you been there long?
