The scenery is gorgeous, the local taxes are lower than the USA national average and the list of things to do is endless.

The summers are gorgeous and you have a beautiful mountain view in the backdrop of the skyline. Traffic is very good here and the roads are excellent. If you are into a relaxed environment and a plethora of outdoor activities to keep you busy, Colorado could be a good home for you.
