20 year resident of the Grand Valley

I lived there for 20 years. I miss it. There's lots to do for out door activities. Great hiking, Audubon trails, LOTS of biking and bike related activites. Tour the Valley is actually a Wine tasting treat. Many local wineries and a meadery. Dinner theater. Local parades. River activities. The downside? The economy. The price of housing is out of line with the income levels for the area. It's odd. IF you have a line on a good job (dual income for families is advised) THEN you'll enjoy it. Otherwise you'll be struggling. St Mary's hospital serves most of the Western Slope with a great facility. Community Hospital is smaller and has a wonderful 'bedside manner' because of it. The schools are varied. Each seems to have their own strengths and weaknesses. Choose carefully. My daughter decided to take a public bus to go back to her old school after we moved across town.
