Best city in US if you love outdoors ?
 

If you love out door stuff (Hiking, Biking, Camping, Fishing) what is the best city to live in US. I am in Phoenix, AZ and love it but keep hearing about Boulder, CO (A city where the guys car is worth 500 bucks but the bike he got on top of the car is worth 3000). Considring the house prices are low want to buy land or property.

If you really love it, don't move to a "city".

Move to Nova Scotia, its not the states, but its close and great place to live.

I like outdoors but not the -50 freeze by ass temp

it all comes down to what TYPE of outdoors you love. Fishing for example Minnesota, Wisconsin and MI are pretty tough to beat.

Hiking damn near anywhere in the Colorado mountains. The eastern edge of the rockies like boulder is nice because you have flat land to the east. That eastern edge doesn't get hit as hard by the big storms.

i also concur, living in an actual city sucks balls. i lived in one till i was in my late 20's, then i moved to the mountains and never looked back. heading to the city for xmas is cool and all, but damn it's always a relief to get back to Whistler, the mountains, and the completely different vibe that makes this place unique.

LOL. If you want the outdoors, get faraway from a city. And then, like mentioned, it depends what you really enjoy.

Do you want to ski? Do you want to go hunting? Do you want to ride four wheelers all day? Do you want to take care of a farm or a ranch? Do you want to do a lot of camping and hiking? Do you want to run around and do what ever the fuck you want without anyone so much as blinking? Do you want to ride around on your boat like a madman all day?

Every area of the country, of North America, has a different "outdoors" setting. Every place is different. So you have to narrow down what it is that you want to do.

Try some suburb of Seattle.

Hiking, Biking, Camping, Fishing is a staple hobby in all myspace and aol user profiles regardless where they live, so maybe you can do it everywhere?

I would suggest Denver. Just mins to some great hiking and a few hours from some really great hiking. :2 cents:

Definitely somewhere in Colorado. Boulder is total hippie town FYI. They're way liberal. Personally I'd say one of the suburbs of Denver. You're still within minutes of everything.

How much money do you have to spend on a house? I can suggest some of the nicer burbs.

Spokane, WA or Coeur D'Alene, ID or Bozeman, MT. Once you east of there, you start to get colder weather. British Columbia Canada is gorgeous and parts of it have mild winters.

;)

You can do all that in Colorado. :2 cents:

Flagstaff,Az just got back or Sedona

No city.

i would have to say colorado as well!

I love Sedona, another reason i moved to Phoenix. I need to be near airports as I travel for my work. I will make a trip to Boulder next month
