I loved Colorado so much its one of my favorite places so far. We lived right in the city, like 20 minutes from downtown Denver so there was so much to do everywhere. The city life was a lot of fun. That wasn't even why I was there either... the mountain life was a whole other vibe. Being only an hour/two hours from the mountains was awesome. We skid during the week too so traffic wasn't too bad, but we got stuck a few times.. When ski season was over too there was still so much to do in the mountains and hiking. The last month we were there everything started blooming and the state was very pretty and green.
