We are about a 15 minute drive to the best of what Denver has to offer, and there is a bus stop 1 block from our house. We are also 2 minutes from the most direct highway (I-70) to the mountains. Along this route, you can be in the mountain town of Idaho Springs (where the gold rush began) in 20 minutes and in the heart of Summit County (ski country) in a little over an hour. Denver is young, vibrant, thriving city with great restaurants, beautiful museums, and countless year-round outdoor activities. The mountains offer skiing, hiking, biking, rock climbing, rafting, golfing, etc., and of course, the opportunity to relax and enjoy breathtaking views.
