What do you LOVE about Colorado (only what you love)
Hello loves!
I've always thought Colorado was beautiful and have had interest in it for awhile! (= I've never been there.
I would very much appreciate it if you beautiful people could tell me what you love about living there, whether it be specifically in your city (in this case please tell me your city) or Colorado in general! (I have no interest in what you dislike) 
Thanks so much! (=
Blessings,
Ronald |

I think there are a couple of threads like this already.
Jobs
Reasonably priced housing
No traffic
Mostly good weather

Old West history
Scenery, beautiful vistas
Outdoor activities are popular, biking, hiking, skiing

I live in COS. I love:
Seeing mountains everytime I wake up
Clean air
No mosquitoes or fleas.
No humidity
endless amounts of stores to shop at
places to ride my atv
the best gun oriented facility in the country (Dragonmans)
many groups or affiliations to join
much bigger selection of single women
I could go on for days....

The weather/climate- sunny pretty much everyday and when weather does roll in, it rarely lasts all day.
wildflowers
snow
mountains (13ers, 14ers) & scenery in general
friendly people
culture (outdoorsy)
economy
endless hiking/backpacking
lakes, rivers, and streams
farmer's markets
wildlife
high altitudes & mountain passes
hummingbirds
distinct seasons
aspen trees
I could rant and rave for days about what I love about CO, but I'll let a few pics explain my feelings.

Nice photos, Katie! I agree with just about everything Katie had on her list.
I would add rainbows. I've never seen as many rainbows as I have here when we get our little afternoon rain shower in the summer and it heads east.
I love the seasons, especially fall. This is the best time of year IMO. I love winter for the snow and skiing. I love the summer for hiking and wildflowers. And I love spring when the hummingbirds return. The mountains are the reason I live here and that's what I love most.

What' not to love. I grew up there and then moved to L.A. Which has it's own perks. I moved back when I was 18 and now @ 34 am just waiting for kids to grow up so I my hsband and I can move back again. Loved the peace and quiet and the fact that you can raise a family there. You can still let your kids walk down to the local store. It is so buitiful with the mountains and streams and most of the little towns just have such charm.
