The best place I'll ever live

Absolutely wonderful place to live. The amount of scenery and natural beauty within 5 hours in all directions (literally all of them) is unbeatable. So close to everything in AZ, UT, NM, and of course CO, it's literally endless. The best hike in Colorado and possibly the county (Ice/Island Lake) in July, the stunning golden aspens in September, Zion and Bryce and Arches in October, Big Bend in November, skiing and snowshoeing in December.. the million dollar highway every month of the year is always incredible, and even when the weather is bad here all it takes is a drive south to Arizona.
Hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, spirited driving, backpacking, whatever you like to do outside, this is heaven for it. If it makes sense for you to move here jobs-wise (e.g. if you work from home), do it, you won't regret it. We'll treasure our year here forever, if we don't end up moving back.
