Jesse's CornerOutdoor Life Starts Here

What are good cities to live in for outdoor enthusists?

I am graduating college soon and want to live in a place with ample outdoor opportunities. I like to ski, mountain bike, and hike and camp. Any suggestions?

Here are my suggestions:

Boulder, CO (could also do Denver but Boulder is better)
Durango, CO
Santa Fe, NM
Boone, NC
Asheville, NC
Salt Lake City, UT
St. George, UT
South Lake Tahoe, CA

That’s a pretty good list
