Daily life in Colorado is full of energy and zest
The first tip for relocating to Colorado is simply: Get Active! The gorgeous mountain landscapes are perfect opportunities for hiking, skiing, biking, camping, or whatever your preference for appreciating nature is. Citizens of Colorado are fortunate to have Rocky Mountain National Park in their “backyard,” as it is just a couple of hours from Greenwood Village. (Check out Greenwood Village homes for sale). This national park is one of the most famous in America and worldwide. It has been preserved for over 100 years. National Geographic named this a top vacation destination in 2014 for global travelers. The 355 miles of hiking trails, 77 mountains taller than 12,000 feet, 415 square miles of mountain beauty, and limitless choices for outdoor activity helped this natural wonder earn its recognition. After checking out moose, deer, and all of the Rockies’ wonders of nature, this park has more incredible activities to partake in. There are 260 miles of trails available for horseback riding, with the choice between two stables: Glacier Creek Stables and Marine Park Stables. Fishing and hunting are popular pastimes in the Rocky Mountains. Trail Ridge Road, Old Fall River Road, and Highway 36 are fantastic places to go for an enchanting journey in the car. It’s no wonder 4.5 million people flock to this notable sanctuary every year.
Pack your fuzzy sweater and other winter gear
As breathtaking mountaintops make up most of Colorado’s terrain, the state has unique weather and climate. In a word, COLD, cold, cold. Fight the freeze with a stockpile of fuzzy socks, sweaters, winter jackets, and other winter wear! Plus, Cherry Hills Village real estate is just an hour and a half away from the renowned Winter Park. Be...

Practice the high life before getting ambitious
The magnificent Colorado mountains can stand as high as 14,000-plus feet. Daring hikers can get ambitious and brave these heights without awareness of altitude mountain sickness, which can start with headache and nausea and lead to more life-threatening issues, such as the inability to breathe. One great way to avoid such trauma is to train your body by gradually experiencing higher and higher altitudes. You will have plenty of opportunities to explore and enjoy the mountains when you find Greenwood Village homes for sale just a little over an hour away.

Craft beer production is a revered part of Colorado’s history

This lager producer is still in action today, with a new image and trademark after briefly closing in 2019. They have different signature spirits for the taking, including Mojo, Hazed and Infused, and Bubbly By Nature. Their identity reflects Boulder traditions of the “hippy” mindset and Colorado’s “outdoorsy” pastimes. However, they welcome all patrons and even include “East Meets West” as part of their soul, and they are just 45 minutes from Cherry Hills Village real estate.
