Love living in Cedaredge Colorado. Since moving here in 2007 - have taken up bycycling, golfing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and hiking lots more. My husband skiis twice a week in the winter at Powderhorn (Telluride is 2 hours away and Crested Butte 2+). There is a whole section on the Mesa dedicated to the snowmobilers and very good lake fishing in the summer. Sometimes in the Spring...we snowshoe and then come down and hit golf balls at the Deer Creek Village Golf Course.
The Grand Mesa sits above us at 10,800 feet. It is a wonderful playground both summer and winter - it is about 25 minutes to get to. A beautiful pristine area that isn't crowded like many of Colorado's National Forests.
We are also around 50 minutes to the main entrance of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, a spectacular National Park with many hiking trails.
Escalante/Dominguez Wilderness area is west of us and marks the beginning of the Canyonlands...(Moab is on the other side-2+hours away).Ouray (Switzerland of Colorado) is south about 1 1/2 hours with a great town, jeeping, fishing and hiking trails.
We are still exploring the area after 3 years and haven't stopped discovering new and different places.
For culture...we have the local muscians and artist that are drawn to the area. Lots of Festivals in all the small towns in the summer. For Big music festivals we go to Grand Junction, Snowmass or Telluride.
