Colorado Springs, Colorado

If the mountains are calling your name, Colorado Springs, Colorado, should be your next home. The scenery in this location has long been admired – more than 100 years ago, the view from Pike's Peak, a nearby mountain, inspired Katherine Lee Bates to write "America the Beautiful."

A major part of that beauty is the city's climate – dry conditions with 300 days of sunshine each year will to brighten your spirits.

Whitewater rafting, rock climbing, ballooning over the mountaintops, exploring caves, parks, and the surrounding brush, or horseback riding through the brush are all popular local activities. In the winter, take up snowshoeing and skiing, but make the most of it when you can – the snow doesn't last for long. Meanwhile, the braver of heart may want to try rodeo events.

With so much adventure, it's not surprising that roughly 115,000 tourists visit here per year (tourism is the city's second-largest industry). Be a tourist yourself and visit the Manitou Cliff Dwellings, in Manitou Springs, just outside the city. These old adobe houses, which have been preserved due to their location beneath a rock overhang, are amazing to behold. In town, you can purchase Navajo crafts, check out local art exhibits, take a guided history tour, or see a dance, theatrical, or musical performance. And tourism brings another bonus for locals: a greater selection of restaurants than would be found in other cities of the same size.
