i live in qld, australia.. Denver looks like the perfect city for me except it lacks one thing... A BEACH! gah, still looking for the perfect city :P

I've lived all over the world...and it took me living all over the world to realize the greatest place of all was my homestate, Colorado. I can't wait to move home someday :)

If you don't have a problem with South Jersey winters you won't have a problem with Idaho or Wyoming. Nevada is actually mostly cold in the winter. It occaisionally snows in Vegas and that is the only warm part of the state, the rest of it is very mountaineous and snowy. Jackson is pretty touristy, Sun Valley is pretty touristy as well. You might want to look into New Mexico, like Las Cruces or Santa Fe.

Those places would probably be too cold in winter...summer I'd love em. I've always been the snowbird type anyway. I was looking at NV also. I hear Jackson is too touristy anyway.

Then I highly recommend Idaho or Wyoming. Idaho Falls/Rexburg is really nice (and affordable compared to Philadelphia), and Jackson or Gillette, Wyoming are nice (Jackson is expensive).

In Philadelphia currently and have never had much use for cities...can find what I need in small towns;

[JohnRhysMusician]

Denver has a lot of open spaces nearby, but Salt Lake City is the best city in the Moutain West. I think you would like Idaho or Wyoming if you don't like city amenities.

once a cow town always a cow town, denver sucks, thank god I left for a real city, san francisco, now that's beauty people.

[JoeNJ1]
