Parachute is definitely not a metropolitan area...I think that's why people live here - if you want Denver, live in Denver!! Oh and the expressway between here and Denver goes over two mountain passes up to 10,000+ elevation - so in winter it will shut down for snow from time to time(usually only a delay). There are multiple lakes and ski resorts within a 1-2 hours of Parachute, so you have easy access to these great attractions without the tourists! I also will add, this is an outdoorman's paradise - whitewater rafting, hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, rock climbing, etc. is all at your backdoor. I agree, there are gas/oil rigs, but the view is hardly obstructed. If you knew all the great things this industry offers to the community, you wouldn't mind so much. I would say that this is probably not a great place for singles, but this is a nice place to raise a family and have quality time together.
