In a poll of where people want to live; a common answer would be Colorado. For many people, the mountains are the place to live. Telluride is a great area for mountain living. To get a good tour of available Telluride Properties, contact a Telluride Real Estate agent. If you are a mountain person, you will love what you see. I just used the phrase mountain person. There are actually four types of people in this country: mountain people, desert people, prairie people, and water people. Each of these groups feels the most joy in their particular area. We will save my favorite for last.

The desert is a favorite environment for lots of folks. These folks thrive in the heat, dryness, and sunshine of the desert. The panorama encompasses a special beauty that is not seen anywhere else. They range from the altitude of the rocky Painted Desert to the depths of Death Valley. While other parts of the country get their colors from the lush vegetation and lakes; the desert has the broad range of colors that include every shade of brown, with many yellows, reds, grays and even blues. Many people love their time in the desert because it stimulates their creativity and they can get in touch with their spiritual selves there.

The prairie is a favorite of many others. However, it is a national tragedy that large portions of the prairie no longer exist. The prairie is flat, allowing the vista to spread over a long distance. On a visit to the prairie I found myself in the second story of a building in Central Illinois and thought I could see my home in Ohio in the distance. Today, the prairie lands consist mostly of modern American cities and corn and wheat fields.

Water provides a wide variety of activities. The main attraction is the beach, whether it is on the salty ocean or surrounding a fresh lake. Beaches bring out our indolence. We relax under the sun to bake out our knots and cares. But fun on the water can be quiet or noisy. The boat can go slowly for relaxation and fishing or fast for water skiing and jet-skiing.

Finally, we will examine the mountain person. What draws people to the mountains, particularly the Rockies? For outdoorsy people, the mountains provide a large supply of outdoors. There is so much to do in every season. The most obvious is cold weather fun.Certainly. A lot of snow falls on the mountains in the winter. And if the winter does not live up to its agreement about its snow delivery, the resorts can fall back on their artificial snow. Snow lovers have a large choice of fun things to do. There are skiing and snowboarding on the mountain sides. But if you are not a skier, there are other vehicles for sliding down the hill, such as sleds, “tubes,” and toboggans. On flatter ground there are different things to do. If you like to ski, you can go cross-country skiing. If not, you can take a snowshoe hike. As you can see, I lean toward the fun to be had in the winter season.
