Why we live here.
Our Valley
More
fourteen thousand foot peaks surround our valley than any other in
the lower forty eight states.
More
champagne powder falls on our local ski area than any other in the
entire state bar one. (and that’s just down the road.)
Sheltered
by towering peaks, our "Banana Belt" winter time climate is more
like Santa Fe than typical mountain communities.
More
recreational opportunities - over eighty percent of our valley is
designated as public land - a hikers and bikers dream.
More
river runs through it. From it’s headwaters high among the
valley’s fourteeners, the Arkansas River flows free and clear,
bringing life to the farms, ranches and communities along its banks,
and recreational opportunities for fishermen, kayakers and rafters
unrivalled in the entire country.
Our Community
All
the natural beauty in the world means nothing if the people who share
it do not also share the same values and ideals. For us, a healthy,
functioning community is one where dialogue is encouraged, diversity
is respected. People greet each other, support each other, encourage
each other and buy locally. Public amenities like libraries, hot
springs and parks are the focal points of social interaction. Sitting
on your stoop takes precedence over sitting in front of your TV.
The sound of children at play is more prevalent than the sound of
sirens wailing. Starlight overpowers street light.
