Where is "Boulder" of the East Coast?
I took a trip to Boulder and (mostly) loved it. The outdoorsy, athletic people, the town, the BC bike path, the cool shops, resturants, liberal, progressive attitude of most, the city's awesome recycling program and it is an up and coming green city. Here's the problem-I just dont think I can live where there arent many trees. Yeah, I know they have trees here and there, and of course in the mountains but I currently live in North Florida where is is green, and lush-and I love it! I just hate this city. I wanna get out of here but need to live somewhere that has an athletic, healthy population and has a lot of trees not open plains, desert, etc. Mountain biking is a must!!! I've been to Tsali Trails in NC and that is a bit too mountainous, just so you know. Does a place like this exist in Va? Thanks and any suggestions are much appreciated!

Charlottesville area would be for you. I don't think Boulder is as healthy as you make it out to be. I go there on business and there are many "unhealthy" people like all other cities.

You might like Damascus. Also, look into Asheville, NC.
