Reasons to head for the hills
You might have joked to friends about heading for the hills to live life as a hermit, but have you really thought seriously about choosing a mountain lifestyle? A lot of us have done it, and so can you: Oh, and you don't have live alone in a remote cabin, unless you really want to.
If you need a little nudge, here are some reasons mountain life might be for you:
Fresh air. There is nothing quite as invigorating as breathing in fresh, mountain air. It can instantly change your outlook.
Stars. Look up, and you can see them. Lots of them. Enough said.
Slower pace. Time slows down a little in mountain towns, and it gives you room to relax and enjoy your favorite things and people along the way.
Less traffic. In our mountain town, a moose crossing is more likely than a traffic jam.
Tight-knit community. Mountain towns like Steamboat Springs maintain an old-fashioned, warm and welcoming quality. You are not just moving to a resort town, but a real community.
Lifestyle. Mountains. I mean, need we say more? Skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, trail running, fly fishing, rock climbing, wildlife photography, botany, geology: Whatever draws you to the outdoors, we've got it.
Far away, but not too far. For Steamboat Springs in particular, we are just enough off the beaten path to feel cozy and secluded, but Denver is not far away and our airport connects directly to 11 cities nationwide. So, you can get a dose of urban life when you need it.
You don't have to live here full time. If a permanent move doesn't yet make sense for your career or life situation, you can still live here part-time. Timeshares, vacation homes and fractional ownerships allow you to get a great taste of the mountain life each year.
