You will LOVE Colorado. Denver is huge with tons of traffic and can take a long time to commute to work. Colorado Springs is more manageable and the most beautiful city you ll ever see.... also, closer to the mountains, lots of outdoor activities available. You may also like a smaller city, like Grand Junction. Avoid resort and ski towns like Breckenridge and Vail...those kind of towns are extremely expensive to live in and have very limited jobs.
well colorado really only has one city, denver..fort collins is more of a large college town and you should avoid colorado springs--it s all miltary and families...denver is full of jobs if you have marketable skills (people seem to forget that part nowadays) and has plenty opportunites for being active and for city life
